Roasted Salted Cashews
What it is
These are whole cashews that have been roasted to bring out their natural nutty flavor and a pleasant crispness. They are then lightly salted, which enhances their taste and makes them a satisfying snack. The roasting process also makes them more shelf-stable than raw cashews. They are a popular choice for their rich, buttery texture and savory profile.
