How Many Cashews Should You Eat a Day? The Right Way to Enjoy Cashews for Good Health

Cashews are one of Vietnam’s most famous and highly valued agricultural products. Many people love them so much they can eat endlessly without getting tired of the taste. However, like any food, eating too much is never good for your body. So, how many cashews should you eat per day? What happens if you eat too many? And what’s the right way to eat cashews for the best health benefits? Let’s find out with TPP!

How Many Cashews a Day Is Best?

Cashews are among the most popular and nutritious nuts in Vietnam. They have a rich, buttery flavor, crispy texture, and an irresistible aroma. Each 20g serving of cashews contains about 110 calories, providing a great energy boost.

However, more doesn’t always mean better — the ideal daily amount depends on your age, health condition, and lifestyle.

According to scientific research, cashews are considered a “warming” food, so you shouldn’t eat too many in one day to avoid unwanted side effects. The recommended amount is about 30g per day (roughly 16–18 nuts). It’s also best to eat them in small portions throughout the day instead of all at once to fully absorb the nutrients and prevent digestive discomfort.

The amount you should eat also depends on age and health:

• Adults: can enjoy cashews 3–4 times per week.

• Children under 10: should eat less (only 1–2 times per week) to avoid indigestion or bloating.

How to Eat Cashews Properly

Besides controlling how many cashews you eat, it’s also important to eat them the right way to get the most nutrition while avoiding potential downsides.

• When to Eat: Avoid eating cashews right before main meals, as they can make you feel full and reduce your appetite. Also, avoid eating them late at night when the body is less active — this may lead to excess energy and weight gain.

• Combine with Fresh Foods: Since cashews are “warm” in nature and may cause dehydration, pair them with fresh fruits or vegetables for better balance and improved health benefits.

• Remove the Skin: If your cashews still have the thin brown skin, peel it off before eating. This layer may cause throat irritation or mild allergies in sensitive individuals and can even lead to nausea or diarrhea if consumed excessively.

• Eat Fresh Cashews: Old or improperly stored cashews can lose flavor and crunch, develop an unpleasant smell, or even become moldy. Always choose fresh, well-packaged cashews.

• For Children: Avoid giving too many cashews to children under 2 years old, as their digestive systems are still developing. Cooked or softened cashews (for example, boiled or stewed) are safer for young kids. Always consult a pediatrician before introducing cashews to toddlers.

Possible Side Effects of Eating Too Many Cashews

Aside from wondering how many cashews are enough per day, many people are also concerned about the possible side effects of overconsumption. Eating too many cashews at once may cause:

• Weight Gain: Cashews are healthy in moderation but high in calories and fats. Overeating can easily lead to excess calorie intake and weight gain.

• Headaches: Cashews may trigger migraines or headaches in some sensitive individuals.

• Indigestion or Bloating: Due to their fat content, eating large amounts can make it hard for the body to digest properly.

• Allergic Reactions: Those allergic to nuts should be cautious, as cashews can cause serious allergic responses, including breathing difficulties.

• Nutrient Imbalance: Eating too many cashews can make you feel full, reducing your intake of other essential nutrients from a balanced diet.
