Roasted and Salted Cashews
What it is
These are whole cashew nuts that have been roasted to bring out their natural flavor and then lightly salted. Roasting gives them a pleasant crunch and a deeper, more complex taste compared to raw cashews. The salt enhances the savory notes of the nuts, making them a satisfying snack. They are a popular choice for their rich, buttery texture and satisfying bite.
