What it is
These are cashew nuts that have been broken into smaller pieces during processing. They are lightly seasoned with salt. Cashews are known for their creamy texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor. The halves and pieces format means you get a mix of whole cashew shapes and smaller fragments, which can be convenient for various culinary applications. They are a popular snack and ingredient.

Enjoy these cashews straight from the container as a satisfying snack. For cooking, they can be added to a variety of dishes. In savory meals, they provide a pleasant chewiness and richness, complementing vegetables and proteins in stir-fries or curries. When baking, they can be chopped further and folded into cookie dough, muffin batter, or used as a topping for pies and crumbles. Toasting them lightly before use can enhance their nutty aroma and flavor, making them even more appealing in any preparation.
