What is this food?
Cashew fruit (the fleshy part around the cashew nut). It’s a sweet-tangy fruit snack, usually eaten fresh or used in drinks and desserts.
Why it matters to health
Cashew fruit gives you carbohydrates and natural sugars for quick energy, plus dietary fiber (0.8 g per 100 g) that can help support regular digestion. It also has very low fat and almost no sodium, which makes it a lighter fruit option. Since it has 7.5 g sugar per 100 g, it’s best to enjoy it as part of your daily meals/snacks so your total sugar intake stays balanced.
Healthier tips
- For snacks, aim for a small bowl (about 1/2 to 1 cup) instead of large portions.
- Pair it with protein or fiber for better fullness—e.g., cashew fruit with plain yogurt, a handful of nuts, or with chia.
- If you’re having it with rice-heavy meals, keep the fruit portion smaller that day.
- Choose fresh or less-sweetened versions when available (especially for drinks or desserts).
Common Filipino dishes
Cashew fruit juice, ginataang prutas (fruit in coconut milk), fruit salad with banana and mango, cashew fruit-based drinks, fruit cups
