A few weeks ago, as I was looking through the sale
papers, I noticed there was a store that had nuts on sale. I got a few bags of pistachio nuts for a
friend, a few jars of roasted peanuts for my father, and a few cans of cashews
for my trash mix that I make at Christmas.
Every year I make trash mix, or Chex mix. I always put a can of mixed nuts, and 2 cans
of cashews, because anyone who has ever made trash can tell you that people
pick through and eat the cashews first.

I also had an uncle who loved them, and he always got a
huge can full at each gift giving occasion.
Cashews are very low in Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also a good source
of Magnesium, Phosphorus, Copper and Manganese.
They make a great snack, and a healthy treat.
