By Rosella Campbell


When it comes to snacking, the choices that are available to you are unlimited but you have to make a decision and choose only those items that can be considered as a healthy choice. Among different varieties, roasted cashews are considered as an ideal healthy snacking choice. They are free from fat and contain all the essential nutrients that are good for you.

The reason why you should look around for healthy snack choices is because most of them are processed which means they contain artificial ingredients like food preservatives, sweeteners and colours which makes them a bit unhealthy for you. You should try and avoid such food items that contain artificial flavourings as they can cause health problems in the long run.

Its best to opt for a healthy snack like cashews because these nuts are healthy, nutritious and contain no traces of preservatives. Although those people who are allergic to nuts might not have them but otherwise even in the nuts category, cashews are considered to be the best choice.

They taste good even if you eat them without roasting them and when roasted, a very distinct flavour is added to them. When you buy such items from the market they already have gone through a little bit of processing but still they are to an extent in their natural state as compared to other snack items like corn puffs, crisps or chocolates.
