What it is
These are whole cashews that have been roasted to bring out their natural nutty flavor and a slight crispness. A touch of salt is added to enhance the taste. They are a popular snack, often enjoyed on their own or as part of a larger snack mix. The roasting process changes the texture and aroma of the nuts, making them more appealing for immediate consumption.
