![]() ![]() Tree nuts are known to contain a high content of unsaturated FA (fatty acids), both mono‐ and polyunsaturated FA, combined with a huge variety of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, phytosterols, and a generous content of fiber. Furthermore, consumption of tree nuts had been linked with several health benefits during the last years due to its particular nutritional composition. Nuts played an important role in diets of many cultures and civilizations for centuries due to its high energy and nutritional value as well as its huge variety of flavors and unique taste. Potassium with a mean value of 6225 mg/kg was the mineral with highest amount in cashew samples. Vitamin E with an average contribution of 5.80 mg/100 g was the most abundant vitamin. Glutamic acid, with 4.60 g/100 g, was the amino acid with highest presence, whereas tryptophan with 0.32 g/100 g was the one with lower presence. β‐Sitosterol with 2380 ± 4 mg/kg fat was the most occurring sterol. Furthermore, the sterol profile and content, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals of four raw cashew kernel samples from Brazil, India, Ivory Coast, and Vietnam were determined. The mean energy content was 2525 kJ/100g. Fourteen FA were identified among which oleic acid was the most abundant with a contribution of 60.7% to the total fat, followed by linoleic (17.77%), palmitic (10.2%), and stearic (8.93%) acids. The average sodium content was 144 mg/kg. Proteins, with 21.3 g/100 g, were ranked second followed by carbohydrates (20.5 g/100 g). Total fat was the major component accounting for 48.3% of the total weight, of which 79.7% were unsaturated FA (fatty acids), 20.1% saturated FA, and 0.2% trans FA. doi:10.4236/ total dietary fiber, sugar, protein, lipid profile, sodium, and energy contents of 11 raw cashew kernel ( Anacardium occidentale L.) samples from India, Brazil, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Mozambique, and Vietnam were determined.
