A roasted cashew is a crescent-shaped tree nut cooked until the kernel turns golden and crisp. It delivers a buttery crunch with gentle sweetness, holds its shape in stir-fries, grinds smoothly into sauces or nut butter, and adds richness to baked goods and salads. Common retail forms include dry-roasted or oil-roasted, salted or unsalted, sold as whole kernels or pieces.\n\nCashew trees are native to northeastern Brazil and spread via Portuguese trade to India, Southeast Asia, and East Africa. Cashews appear in Goan curries, Thai stir-fries, and Chinese-style dishes, with kernels extracted from a caustic shell before commercial roasting.
