Abstract
The Anacardiaceae family, also known as the cashew family, is a diverse group of flowering plants with over 80 genera and around 800 species. These family members are rich sources of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium. In addition, some members are good sources of healthy fats i.e., monounsaturated fats, and some members are rich in antioxidant compounds like carotenoids and phenolic acids. However, some members contain antinutritional compounds like Tannins, Urushiol, and anacardic acid, which can disturb human metabolism if ingested in high amounts (Mitchell et al., 2022).
