You may have heard of the term ‘keto’ swirling around in the last several years. It’s been one of the most popular diets to emerge as of late, and it’s gone from being a bit of a fad to becoming mainstream. You can now find keto recipes, keto dishes at popular restaurants, and keto blogs galore. But what exactly is the ketogenic diet that everybody is raving about? And, if you are a cashew lover (like us!) can you still enjoy your favorite nuts on this diet? We’ll explore the ketogenic diet, and how delicious flavored cashews can still fit into this low-carb craze.
Like any diet, you have people that adhere strictly, and you have people that follow general guidelines. The keto lifestyle has caught on as a weight-loss plan that doesn’t force anyone to sacrifice the delicious, high-fat foods they love. In the case of keto, more fat is actually encouraged over protein and carbohydrates in order to kickstart your body to reach a metabolic state of ketosis. Ketosis happens when your body starts to metabolize (burn) fat instead of carbohydrates to generate energy. For people looking to lose weight quickly, this process can be a godsend! It can seem like a win-win: you don’t have to give up your favorite foods, like flavored cashews, and you can live a healthy lifestyle that encourages you to lose weight.
We’re big fans of cashews around here, if you couldn’t tell. Our good quality cashews provide great jobs, delicious snacks, and a healthy lifestyle to many, many people! Cashews pack a huge punch when it comes to health benefits. These versatile legumes are heart-healthy, rich in the same oleic fat that you find in olive oil and avocados, and packed full of vitamins and micronutrients.
Raw cashews have 8 net carbs per ounce, so while not devoid of carbs, they are low enough in carbohydrates to still incorporate into your keto lifestyle in delicious, portioned ways. However, you want to modify the keto lifestyle to fit your needs, like gluten-free and vegan, for instance, delicious raw and flavored cashews provide the right versatility for any situation.
Whether you use cashew flour, raw cashews, or cashew butter, you won’t be able to get enough of these delicious cashew recipes. You don’t have to be a chef or a baker to execute these simple, delicious recipes.
