Our sprouting process involves soaking the nuts for 24 hours causing them to begin to germinate. The sprouted almonds are then removed from the solution and slowly dried at a very low temperature with low humidity. This slow drying process destroys the enzyme inhibitors, releasing the full nutritional content of the nut and allowing the body's natural enzymes to more easily digest the nuts. While much more time-consuming, sprouting makes nuts more digestible, gives them much greater nutritional value and makes them crunchier.

They have a mild nutty taste that is delicious all on its own, or atop salads and soups. Mix these raw cashews with granola or yogurt for a yummy snack, or toss them with stir-fries and other dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"our-registered-dietitian-s-top-pick\"\u003eOur Registered Dietitian’s Top Pick\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Registered Dietitian and Health Nut always has raw organic cashews on hand, as they are a perfect way to boost the protein content of a stir fry and add in healthy fats to your eating routine. Another one of her favorite ways to enjoy cashews is to make cashew cream, which creates the ideal consistency for dressings, soups, or sauces. Making cashew cream is simple: cover the cashews in water, let them sit in the refrigerator overnight, drain most of the liquid, and then whip the cashews in a blender or food processor for a wonderful creamy texture and taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"health-benefits-of-organic-cashews\"\u003eHealth Benefits of Organic Cashews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike most nuts, organic cashews are rich in protein, dietary fiber, and antioxidants. They contain less fat than most other nut varieties, and nearly 75% of it is heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. In particular, raw cashews are an excellent source of oleic acid, the same \"good\" fat found in olive oil. Research shows that increasing your intake of oleic acid can protect your heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrganic cashews are a great nutritional addition to your diet because they are also rich in essential minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium. Studies indicate that eating nuts like these ones may help reduce the risk for chronic conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. This is because nuts are packed with protective nutrients like unsaturated fats, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"now-available-in-single-serve-packaging-\"\u003eNow Available in Single Serve Packaging!\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContactless \u0026amp; Safe Snacking\u003c\/strong\u003e - whether you are sharing or eating on your own, the individual packaging limits the number of touchpoints.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePortion Control\u003c\/strong\u003e - Single serving size to help balance out our daily nutritional needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrab and Go!\u003c\/strong\u003e - wherever you may travel, take a little bag of snacks on the way\n*SAFE HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS: This product contains raw Tree Nut and should be cooked before consumption.
