Spicy & Tangy Cashews
What it is
These are whole cashews that have been roasted and then coated with a blend of chili powder and lime flavoring. The roasting process brings out the natural nutty flavor of the cashews, while the chili and lime create a vibrant taste profile. The coating is typically a dry powder, giving each nut a zesty and slightly spicy kick. They are a popular snack for those who enjoy bold flavors.
