CASHEW: Very rich in Magnesium
THE Cashew is one of the most highly prized of nuts. The fact that they are produced in tropical climates only increases their value and attractiveness.
PROPERTIES AND INDICATIONS: Cashews are an oil-bearing nut with a sweet, pleasant taste. It is rich in unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic and linoleic; in vitamins such as B1, B2 in pantothenic acid; and in minerals such as magnesium (260mg/100g), potassium, iron and phosphorous
It is noted for its magnesium content ,one of the highest in the vegetable kingdom, surpassed only by sunflower seeds (354mg/100g), Meat, milk, and eggs are poor in magnesium, none exceeding 24mg/100g.
MAGNESIUM is involved in a variety of metabolic functions, but particularly the transmission of nerve impulses. Its lack produces nervousness and irritability, and even cramps and spasms. Since the cashew is very rich in magnesium as well as vitamins B1 and B2(Superior to almond and walnuts)which are also essential for nervous stability,its use is recommended in cases of:
Nervousness, irritability,depression,weakness and abnormal tiredness.
