A delicious, healthy alternative to traditional milk
Cashew nuts are actually the kidney-shaped seeds that adhere to the bottom of the cashew apple, the fruit of the cashew tree, which grows naturally in tropical climates. The delicately flavored cashew nut makes delicious milk that is dairy-free and perfect for a vegan lifestyle.
Cashew milk is high in nutrition and as heart-healthy as olive oil
Cashews have a lower fat content than most other nuts, approximately 75% of their fat is unsaturated fatty acids, plus about 75% of this unsaturated fatty acid content is oleic acid, the same heart-healthy monounsaturated fat found in olive oil.
Studies show that oleic acid supports cardiovascular health, even in individuals with diabetes. Studies of diabetic patients show that monounsaturated fat, when added to a low-fat diet, can help to reduce high triglyceride levels. Triglycerides are a form in which fats are carried in the blood, and high triglyceride levels are associated with an increased risk for heart disease, so ensuring you have some monounsaturated fats in your diet by enjoying cashew milk is a good idea.
Cashew milk is rich in Magnesium which may support healthy insulin levels
Cashews are a source of magnesium. Magnesium may possibly support healthy blood pressure levels and is an important mineral for diabetics because it may support healthy insulin levels. Studies have also shown that people who have low magnesium levels are at higher risk of heart disease. Like calcium, magnesium plays an important role in building and maintaining bone health as well as hundreds of enzymatic reactions in the body.
