Cashews are rich in minerals such as iron, magnesium, zinc, copper, selenium, and manganese that secure brain, heart and liver health as well as immunity, antioxidant protection, healthy sugar levels and healthy blood count.
Here are simple ways to tap into the underrated
world of cashew for your body:
1) Snacking on the nuts
2) Using cashew butter as spread for bread or with crackers.
3) Sprinkle a few in your porridges. You
can also mix them with groundnuts to get the bits of both worlds, flavour and nutrient wise.
4) MASHED KENKEY A.K.A MASHKE
INGREDIENTS
Fante Kenkey

Milk of preference: You can use powdered milk and water too.
Sift your dry ingredients into a
bowl Make a well in the dry ingredients
and add egg, milk and cashew butter.

banana in after.
4.Coat the base of a pan with 2 tablespoons
of oil.
5.Heat oil on medium low heat.
6.Scoop portions of the batter into
the heated pan.
7.Cook till bubbles start to form on
the top and flip on the other side for three minutes till both sides are
lightly browned.
8.To check if it's cooked through, you
can poke your pan cakes with a tooth pick. If it comes out cleanly without
batter sticking to it, your pancakes are ready!
6) Make cashew nut soup like you would groundnut
soup and substitute groundnut paste with cashew butter which has more HDL or “good
cholesterol.”
Help yourself to cashew a few times a week
consistently and watch your body respond to the new addition.
