Cashew Nuts

Cashew nuts are nutritionally much the same as other nuts: they are high in fat (around 50 percent), rich in vitamin E and a good source of minerals, particularly magnesium and zinc. While high in fat, all nuts are ranked highly for their healthy unsaturated fats.Cashew nuts differ by being higher in saturated fat - around 17 percent - than other nuts like almonds and walnuts, which are down at a low of  6 or 7 percent. It's not a huge difference.
