"national cashew day" news and stories

Happy National Cashew Day!

Celebrate today's food holiday with a generous serving of the nutrient- and, yes, fat-heavy product. But don't fret about the healthy unsaturated fat associated with the cashew -- according to research, studies have proven that people who consume nuts on a regular basis typically weigh less than those who rarely munch on the nutritious snack.

So get inspired to indulge in the rich, buttery cashew with some seasonal recipes -- use up leftovers in a Turkey Salad with Chutney and Cashews, try an spicy Asian Stir-Fried Chicken with Orange Zest and Crispy Cashews, or prepare for easy holiday entertaining with some Candied Cashews
