Cashews provide moderate anti-inflammatory benefits from copper and magnesium, though their higher carbohydrate content and omega-6 levels reduce overall impact.
Copper
-0.5
Exceptional copper content supports antioxidant enzyme systems that combat inflammation.
Magnesium
-0.4
Good magnesium levels help modulate inflammatory responses and support metabolic health.
Monounsaturated Fats
-0.3
Healthy fat profile contributes to reduced inflammatory markers.
Omega-6 Fatty Acids
+0.4
Higher omega-6 content compared to walnuts or flaxseeds can promote inflammation when consumed in excess.
This score is ingredient-based and weighted by DII-inspired evidence. Foods with added sugar, refined starches, and heavy processing trend higher; foods with fiber, omega-3, and polyphenols trend lower.
Lower in FODMAPs than most nuts, generally well-tolerated in servings up to 20 cashews.
