Cashews make a wonderfully smooth base for mayo. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

And cashews are low in fat\u00a0compared to other nuts.<\/span><\/p>\n

I suggest blending the lemon with the pulp when possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy \u2013\u00a0just cut away the peel with a serrated knife,<\/span><\/p>\n

slice, seed with the tip of a knife,\u00a0and pop it in the blender.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Or you can juice the lemon or use lemon juice concentrate.<\/span><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t soak the cashews, and it still came\u00a0out perfectly smooth<\/span><\/p>\n

* Health Benefits\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

These Homemade<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Condiment Recipes<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Are Healthy and All-Natural<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These homemade condiments contain real ingredients with
\nadditional health <\/span><\/strong>benefits<\/strong> for you and your loved ones. Using
\norganic tomato paste and juice <\/span>sets you up for the positive
\nbenefits tomatoes have to offer. Apart from having <\/span>no fat and
\ncholesterol, tomatoes have high amounts of infection-fighting
\nvitamin <\/span>C. Plus, you can get your fix of two powerful carotenoid
\nantioxidants:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lycopene:<\/strong> helps defend your cells and skin from UV damage
\nand skin cancer, <\/span>lessen oxidative stress and risk of osteoporosis,
\nand keep bone density <\/span>Zeaxanthin: filters UV rays and helps
\nprevent macular degeneration,<\/span><\/p>\n

Organic, pasture-raised eggs<\/strong> are a must if you\u2019re making
\nhomemade mayonnaise. <\/span>Most eggs nowadays come from
\nchickens raised in conventional animal feeding <\/span>operations
\n(CAFOs), where they\u2019re fed an unnatural diet and are exposed
\nto <\/span>dangerous bacteria. Organic, pasture raised eggs are better
\nbecause compared <\/span>to conventional eggs, they have higher
\namounts of:<\/span><\/p>\n

Vitamins A and E<\/span>
\n Omega-3 fatty acids<\/span>
\n Beta-carotene<\/span><\/p>\n

Other nutrients found in eggs, especially in the yolk,<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

include:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Choline:<\/strong> helps with brain development, regulates the health
\nof cell membranes, and <\/span>has anti-inflammatory properties<\/span><\/span>
\n Lutein and zeaxanthin: as mentioned earlier, zeaxanthin helps
\nkeep your eyes healthy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, lutein<\/strong> aids in protecting your central vision and assists
\nin blue light <\/span>absorption. When they work in tandem, they\u2019re able to soak
\nup excess photon <\/span>energy and fight free radicals that can harm lipid
\nmembranes <\/span>Coconut oil is another vital ingredient because unlike
\nvegetable oils with long-chain <\/span>fatty acids, the medium-chain fatty acids
\nin this oil provide therapeutic benefits to po<\/span>eople with brain disorders and
\nepilepsy, help prevent the onset of Alzheimer\u2019s <\/span>disease, and pave the way
\nfor weight loss. Meanwhile, another component in <\/span>coconut oil, lauric acid,
\nturns into a monoglyceride called monolaurin that can <\/span>get rid of bacteria,
\nfungi and viruses.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Raw organic honey<\/strong> adds a mild sweetness to your barbecue sauce.
\nApart from having antifungal and antioxidant properties, organic
\n<\/span>honey has <\/span>antibacterial capabilities that allow it to eradicate more than
\n250 bacteria strains.<\/span><\/p>\n

Honey<\/strong> is also a known energy-booster and immune system<\/span>
\n builder, especially for people who have allergies.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you like your sauce spicy, turn up the heat and the
\nhealth benefits with cayenne pepper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Capsaicin,<\/strong> a compound found in spicy peppers, has<\/span>
\n antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and cancer cell-fighting abilities.
\nThis compound also relieves pain by lowering your body\u2019s
\nsupply of substance <\/span>P, a chemical that sends pain signals to your
\nbrain, and plays a role in weight loss, since it can help lower calorie
\nintake, shrink fat tissue, <\/span>reduce fat levels and inhibit fat build-up.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Did You Know?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\n

Cashew nuts grow in the seeds that hang from cashew apples.
\nT<\/span>hey contain vitamins and minerals that support healthy blood
\nand immune system function.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Cashews have a buttery, sweet, and salty taste, an unmistakable shape,
\nand they are an excellent source of <\/span>vitamins and minerals. They grow on
\ncashew nut trees, which are native to subtropical climates.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Raw, unsalted cashews<\/strong> are often used in vegan recipes as well as in Indian
\ncooking. Many of us eat cashews <\/span>after they have been roasted and salted,
\nwhich turns them into a delicious snack.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What Are the Health Benefits of Cashews?<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\n Although cashews are one of the lowest-fiber nuts, they are packed with
\nvitamins, minerals and antioxidants. <\/span>
\n These include vitamins E, K, and B6, along with minerals like copper,
\nphosphorus, zinc, magnesium, iron, and <\/span>selenium, all of which are important
\nfor maintaining good bodily function.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

https:\/\/draxe.com\/cashews-nutrition\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Fight Heart Disease<\/strong><\/span>
\nFrequent cashew consumption can help lower your risk for many of the biggest
\nrisks associated with heart disease, including high cholesterol, high blood pressure
\nand obesity. Cashews are believed to have beneficial effects on oxidative stress
\nlevels, inflammation and vascular\/arterial activity that promotes a healthy heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cashews can help lower LDL cholesterol (considered the dangerous kind) and
\nimprove HDL cholesterol (the \u201cgood\u201d kind). They contain special phytosterol
\ncompounds, which play an important structural role in cell membranes where they
\nstabilize cells and interfere with cholesterol absorption. This is responsible for their
\ncholesterol-lowering abilities and the reason cashews may be able to help prevent
\nthe formation of plaque within artery walls. Cashews are also associated with lowered
\ntriglyceride levels and reduced levels of inflammation, all of which help protect you
\nfrom heart disease, heart attacks or stroke.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Help Prevent Gallstones<\/strong><\/span>
\nSome research has found that eating nuts weekly, including cashews, can help lower
\nthe risk for having gallstones. Gallstones are associated with healthy cholesterol levels;
\nthey\u2019re caused by hardened cholesterol, a result of too much cholesterol being present
\nwithin the bile that circulates through the digestive tract.
\n
\nCashews<\/strong>\u00a0have a high oxalate content<\/strong>. When eaten in large quantities<\/strong>,
\nthis can be unsafe lead to kidney stones, and other chronic health problems.
\nhttps:\/\/draxe.com\/ cashews-nutrition\/<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Normally, your liver doesn\u2019t secrete a high enough amount of cholesterol to harden
\nand form stones, but when liver health is poor, cholesterol can essentially act like glue,
\nhardening and binding together with other substances like calcium inside the gallbladder.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

3. Can Help with Weight Loss or Maintenance<\/span><\/strong>
\nNuts have a high total fat content, \u2014 cashews are made of approximately 46 percent
\nfat \u2014but they\u2019re also very nutrient-dense and provide a lot of important minerals and
\nfatty acids that support weight loss.
\nCashews can help you feel fuller after a meal, which is beneficial for curbing food
\ncravings, overeating and unhealthy snacking. Fats in general make food more satisfying
\nand increase nutrient absorption of fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin A and vitamin D.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cashews are also a good source of plant-based protein (somewhere around 25 percent
\nof the nut is made up of amino acids), partially in the form of beneficial amino acid
\nL-arginine, which is a precursor of nitric oxide known to help improve vascular reactivity
\nand circulation. Improved blood flow helps draw toxins out <\/span>from the digestive system and
\ncan add to an improved metabolism, higher energy and better digestive health.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Help Maintain Bone Health<\/strong><\/span>
\nCashews nutrition benefits include bone health improvement due to the presence of
\ncalcium, magnesium and potassium, together with a low sodium intake. These are
\nassociated with protection against bone demineralization. Cashews\u2019 bone-building
\nbenefits also come from their supply of vitamin K.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cashews provide over 12 percent of your daily vitamin K needs in just a \u00bc cup serving \u2014
\nworking as a great source to prevent vitamin K deficiency. Vitamin K works with other
\nessential minerals like calcium to support bone mineralization and maintain bone
\nmineral density, which can help protect you from bone fractures and osteoporosis.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. May Help Prevent Colon, Prostate and Liver Cancers<\/span><\/strong>
\nRegularly eating nuts, including cashews, is associated with a lower risk for certain
\ncommon cancers, especially cancers that occur in the digestive tract, including liver
\nand colon cancers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nuts are good sources of antioxidant vitamins (for example, tocopherols and certain
\nphenolic compounds, which are mostly stored in the shells of cashews and nuts) needed
\nto protect the body from high levels of free radical damage that causes <\/span>oxidative stress,
\npotentially contributing to DNA damage, cell mutation and cancerous
\ntumor formation.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Support Healthy Brain Function<\/span>
\nThe brain is made up of mostly fat and relies on a steady supply of healthy fatty acids
\nwithin the diet. Nuts are one of the natural plant foods richest in fat and support cognitive
\nfunction, healthy aging and mood regulation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several dietary components of cashews can help support cognitive abilities and multiple
\nbrain processes by regulating neurotransmitter pathways, synaptic transmission and
\nmembrane fluidity, particularly the healthy fats in cashews but also trace minerals like
\nzinc, iron and copper. (6) Dietary deficiency of healthy MUFA and PUFA fatty acids has
\neven been associated with increased risk of several mental disorders such as ADHD,
\nanxiety or depression, dyslexia and dementia.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Lower the Risk for Diabetes <\/span>Cashews are a great source of MUFA fats, which slow the
\nrate at which blood is released.\u00a0<\/span> into the bloodstream. The anti-diabetic properties of
\ncashews nutrition is partially due to the active ingredients called hydroethanolic extract
\nin the form of anacardic acid, which stimulates glucose transport and control. (7) Hydro-
\nethanolic extract of cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) nut and its principal compound,
\nanacardic acid, stimulate glucose uptake<\/span><\/p>\n

Cashews also help lower levels of inflammation, and studies show that a diet higher in
\nnuts results in lower circulation of inflammatory biomarkers that can contribute to
\ninsulin resistance and diabetes formation. Additionally, cashew nutrition benefits
\ninclude the ability <\/span>to prevent or treat other complications of diabetes including arterial
\nhypertension, obesity and cardiovascular risk.<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Help Prevent Migraine Headaches<\/span>
\nCashews help support healthy brain function and improve blood circulation while
\nlowering blood pressure. Nuts also provide plant-based phytosterols, which are
\nbeneficial for reducing headache duration and occurrence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, cashews fight rapid changes in blood sugar and hypoglycemia, another
\nwell-recognized trigger for migraines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Help Maintain Healthy Skin<\/span><\/p>\n

beautiful skin<\/span>
\nCashews nutrition supports healthy skin due to the presence of healthy essential fatty acids.
\nHealthy sources of fat are needed to keep skin hydrated and free from irritation, flaking and
\npremature aging.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cashews are also a high source of copper, which helps with the production of the skin and
\nhair pigment called melanin, as well as the formation of collagen, which supports skin\u2019s
\nelasticity and defenses against aging.<\/span><\/p>\n

History of Cashews<\/span><\/p>\n

Cashews were first cultivated in Brazil, where Portuguese inhabitants discovered
\nthem and brought them back to parts of India sometime around 1560 and 1565. From
\nIndia, cashews spread throughout Southeast Asia and eventually made their way to
\nAmerica and Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cashew tree is now widely grown in tropical regions around the world, especially
\nin parts of India, Nigeria, Vietnam, the Ivory Coast and Indonesia. The modern-day
\nname cashew derives from the Portuguese word for the fruit of the cashew tree, caju,
\nwhich translates in Portuguese to \u201cnut that produces itself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Cashews are considered drupes that grows at the end of the cashew apple fruit. The
\ndrupe develops first on the cashew apple tree and then expands to become the cashew
\napple. The apple itself has a sharp taste and delicate skin, therefore it doesn\u2019t transport
\nwell and isn\u2019t commonly eaten. In some parts of the world, however, like Brazil and regions
\nin Africa, cashew apples are actually considered healing delicacies and are used for their <\/span><\/p>\n

natural medicinal qualities like fighting bacteria.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Buy and Store Cashews<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to which types of cashews to buy, look for raw cashews if possible, with
\nplain \u201cdry roasted\u201d cashews being your second best option. Blanching cashews and other
\n<\/span>nuts, especially when their shells are removed or cracked open, can destroy most of their
\nantioxidants more so than roasting usually does. All cashews sold to customers have their
\nouter shells removed because they\u2019re considered \u201ctoxic\u201d and likely to hold bacteria.<\/span><\/p>\n

You definitely want to avoid cashews or other nuts that are coated in vegetable oils (usually
\nrancid and hydrogenated oils) or sugar and other artificial additives. This is usually the case
\nwhen you buy pre-made trail mixes, so check the label carefully that no extra sugar, preservatives,
\nhydrogenated vegetable oil, chemicals or preservatives have been added to your cashews or
\ncashew butter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cashews are considered more stable than many other types of nuts because they have a high
\ncontent of oleic acid, but it\u2019s still a good idea to store them in a tightly sealed container and
\naway from heat in order to prolong their freshness. Many people even like to refrigerate or
\nfreeze their nuts, nut butters and nut flours to retain the most nutrients possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some other types of products made from cashews that you might also want to seek out:<\/span><\/p>\n

Cashew \u201cbutter\u201d \u2014 a great alternative to peanut butter, this is made by soaking and blending
\ncashews. Salt should be the only other ingredient added. <\/span>Cashew flour \u2014 made by drying and
\ngrinding cashews, this can be used in similar ways to almond meal. Try combining it with coconut <\/span><\/p>\n

flour or other gluten-free flours to make muffins, pancakes or other treats. <\/span>Cashew milk \u2014 this
\nis a good alternative to almond milk, coconut milk or dairy milk if you avoid lactose and
\nconventional (pasteurized) dairy. It\u2019s a bit creamier than almond milk and is free of sugar and
\nlactose as long as you buy an unsweetened version.<\/span>
