Cashews calories & macros
553 calories per 100 g · 155 calories per 1 oz (28 g). Cashews (raw).
Cashews are the highest-carbohydrate nut at 30.2 g per 100 g, which is what gives them their slightly sweet, creamy character. At 553 calories per 100 g they are also a shade lighter than almonds or walnuts, though an ounce still costs 155 calories. Roasted and salted versions are similar in calories but far higher in sodium, and honey-roasted adds sugar on top.
