Cashews

Cashews are seeds, not nuts. They are abundant in protein and also include a variety of vitamins and minerals.

A 1/4-cup (32-gram) serving contains approximately 80% of the Daily Value (DV) for copper. Copper is a mineral that aids in the formation of red blood cells and connective tissue.

Low copper intake has also been linked to an increased risk of osteoporosis, a disorder characterized by weak and brittle bones, according to research.

Thus, increasing your copper intake through cashew consumption may be one strategy to help defend against this illness.

Eat cashews as part of a balanced snack on top of plain yogurt with fruit to get more cashews in your diet.

HIGHLIGHT:

• Cashews have 5 g of protein per 1/4 cup (32 g) serving. Cashews, in addition to protein, contain important minerals such as copper.
