Can someone clarify for me the nutritional value of cashew
nuts. A freind of mine asserts they are very high in
cholesterole and should be avoided. Thanks -dez

Cholesterol can only be found in animal foods, it is not found
in any plant food and this includes nuts like cashews.

Nuts are high in fat but it's the good fat (polyunsaturated
fat). Marty B "You are what you eat"

If I recall correctly, cashews are higher in saturated fat
than many other nuts. No cholesterol though.

Look it up on the web.

I think cholesterol as such is not found in plant materials,
though some plant materials, especially if chemically
processed (such as hydrogenation) may raise serum cholesterol.
With roasted cashews, you don't know what you're getting;
besides, commercially roasted cashews are invariably
overroasted. Best bet is raw cashews.
