Nuts and seeds are considered antioxidant powerhouses, and cashews are no exception (11).
Antioxidantsare beneficial plant compounds that keep your body healthy by neutralizing damage-causing molecules known as free radicals. In turn, this helps reduce inflammation and increases your body’s ability to stay healthy and free from disease (12).
Cashews are a rich source of polyphenols and carotenoids — two classes of antioxidants also found in other tree nuts (13).
Studies link antioxidants in nuts like walnuts, pecans, and almonds to lower levels of oxidative cell damage (14,15,16).
Due to their similar antioxidant profile, cashews may be expected to offer similar oxidation-fighting benefits. This may be particularly true of roasted cashews, which appear to have an increased antioxidant activity compared with their raw counterparts (17).
That said, the number of cashew-specific studies are limited and more research is needed before strong conclusions can be made (17).
