Highlights
Nutrition is a key environmental exposure from conception to death that impacts on wellbeing and the way genes are expressed.[1]
This study evaluated the chemical and phytochemical properties of fresh cashew nuts
Cashew nuts belong to the Anacardiaceae family[3] and were presented in Nigeria within the 15th century by the Portuguese as a sort of afforestation plot in a bid to control the enormous rate of erosion in the eastern part of the country.[4]
Summary
Nutrition is a key environmental exposure from conception to death that impacts on wellbeing and the way genes are expressed.[1]. Nuts are nutrient dense foods that have complete structure which is high in fatty acids (unsaturated), some biologically active components, vegetable proteins (high quality), tocopherols, fiber, minerals, phenolic acids and polysterols.[2] Hard shell of nut provides protection for the main nutritional store house which is the nut or seed. Official Journal of Natural Product Research Group, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria It is all inclusively eaten for their alluring dietary and tangible properties which are due to its good source of protein, carbohydrates, fats etc.[6] Cashew nuts are attached to a cashew fruit or apple produced by cashew trees beneath the fruit enclosed in a strong shell.[7] It contains a permeable honeycomb like structure containing caustic liquid which is made up of anarcadic acid that serves as protection to the cashew nut during growth by its poisonous property 7. The purpose of this research was to resolve the nutritional components of raw cashew (Anarcardium occidantale) nuts sourced from Enugu State, South Eastern Nigeria
