Cashews are rich in vitamin C; they have approximately 5 times more vitamin C than oranges, for example. For this reason, they are a great booster for our immune system. The riper they are, the higher the vitamin C content they have. They are also a source of minerals, such as zinc and iron. Since they are rich in fats (although good fats), they are also high in calories and can cause unwanted weight gain. Excess selenium: cashews are also rich in selenium, which, in small quantities, is an excellent antioxidant.
