The best Cashews

We are super excited to announce our switch to using exclusively organic cashews!⁠

Lets firstly clarify what organic means...⁠
Certified organic products are grown and processed without the use of synthetic chemicals, fertilisers, or GMO’s.⁠
Organics is not just “chemical free”. ⁠
It is a holistic means of growing and handling food and plants.⁠
Soil. Plants. Animals. Food. People. Environment.⁠

Organic raw cashews are rich and creamy in flavour and texture. ⁠
They contain high amount of copper, manganese, magnesium, zinc and phosphorus.⁠

Why are these minerals of benefit to our bodies?

COPPER:

• macro-mineral > 100mg / day required
• copper content varies in foods depending on the food origin and handling conditions
• 50-80% absorption occurs through ingestion
• Zinc supplementation can increase demand 
• Antioxidant
• Functions: connective tissue formation, activation of hormones, immune system function, energy production, cardiovascular health

MANGANESE:

• macro-mineral > 100mg / day required
• highest concentration in bones, liver, kidneys and heart
• free radical control
• protein break-down
• bone and cartilage formation

MAGNESIUM (Mg2+):

• macro-mineral > 100mg / day required
• 60% in bones - deficiency contributes to osteoporosis
• involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions notably for energy production, muscle and nerve function, and blood regulation

ZINC:

• macro-mineral > 100mg / day required
• involved in more body functions than any other mineral
• Functions: digestion, nutrient metabolism, pH regulation, required for alcohol metabolism

PHOSPHORUS:

• macro-mineral > 100mg / day required
• 85% in skeleton
• functions: energy metabolism, enzyme activation and deactivation, activation of B1, B2, B3, B6 and B5, metabolism of glucose and fructose.
