I love cashewnuts, they are one of my favorite nuts, I can eat them raw, roasted, fried in stirfries and also in for breakfast. They have a lower fat content than most nuts and are high in Magnesium which is vital for healthy bones.
To encourage my family to eat some thing for breakfast , especially the youngsters I make these delicious Cashew nut and Oats energy bars with Mehdool dates. They have no added sugar and taste absolutely divine.
