Blood sugar worries and a natural solution
Diabetes is no longer a rare disease. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), more than 537 million adults worldwide are currently living with it. People with diabetes must carefully consider every meal, because even a single “over-limit” snack can cause blood sugar to spike.
With so many snack options on the market, most people worry that they’re filled with sugar, unhealthy fats, or refined carbs – the very things that make blood sugar management difficult. But there’s one nut that nutritionists actually recommend: cashews.
Not only are cashews nutrient-dense, but they also fall into the category of “low GI” foods – meaning they have a low glycemic index and are suitable as a safe snack for people with diabetes. And with NHP Cashews, you can feel even more confident thanks to our commitments: Eurofins tested – ISO certified – no preservatives – vegan – gluten-free.
Blood sugar worries and a natural solution
Glycemic Index (GI) and why it matters for diabetes
What is GI?
The Glycemic Index (GI) measures how quickly a food raises blood sugar after consumption.
- High GI foods (>70): Cause rapid spikes in blood sugar – harmful for diabetics.
- Medium GI foods (56–69): Moderate effect.
- Low GI foods (<55): Raise blood sugar slowly and steadily.
Where do cashews fall?
According to research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, cashews have a GI of only 25 – which places them firmly in the “low GI” group. This means cashews raise blood sugar gradually, instead of causing dangerous spikes like sweets or fried snacks.
That’s why cashews are often recommended for people with diabetes, heart disease, or anyone maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Why cashews are a safe snacking choice
Rich in healthy fats – protecting the heart
Cashews are packed with monounsaturated (MUFA) and polyunsaturated (PUFA) fats – the “good” fats that lower bad cholesterol and protect cardiovascular health. Since people with diabetes face a 2–4 times higher risk of heart disease, MUFA and PUFA are especially important.
Protein & fiber – satiety and steady energy
A 30g serving of cashews provides about 5g of protein and 1g of fiber. This combo helps you stay full longer, preventing overeating and unnecessary snacking that can destabilize blood sugar.
Essential minerals – supporting glucose metabolism
- Magnesium: Improves insulin sensitivity.
- Zinc: Plays a role in insulin production.
- Iron & Copper: Support healthy blood circulation and reduce diabetes complications.
Real-world benefits of cashews for people with diabetes
Backed by science
A 2019 study in the Journal of Nutrition found that regular cashew consumption improved cholesterol levels, reduced inflammation, and helped stabilize blood sugar in people at risk of type 2 diabetes.
