My Skin Looked Expensive After Eating This

Looking at the label, these Sea Salt Roasted Whole Cashews pack a savory punch with just sea salt, cashews, and peanut oil holding it together. The 7g of sugar per 100g is pretty standard for a roasted nut, keeping it from tasting bland without going full dessert mode. I'd imagine the texture is that classic, snappy crunch you get from a proper roast. Perfect for tossing in your desk drawer to survive that 3 PM slump at the office. The score of 9.3 suggests it's a solid pick. However, if you're sensitive to oiliness, the peanut oil might leave a slight sheen on your fingers, which isn't ideal if you're typing up a storm.

Checking out the specs, this Sea Salt Roasted Whole Cashews lists cashews, peanut oil, and sea salt, with 7g of sugar per 100g. It looks like a near-identical match to the first one, offering that expected savory balance without tipping into sweet territory. The 9.3 score hints at a satisfying, crunchy texture that holds up well. I can see these being a lifesaver in your gym bag for a quick post-workout refuel when you need something substantial. The trade-off here is pretty much the same: the peanut oil base means they aren't the cleanest eat if you're trying to minimize added fats, and they might not satisfy if you're craving something sweet.

The Deluxe Whole Cashews look promising with a score of 9.7 and a lower sugar content of just 3g per 100g. The ingredients list cashews and a blend of vegetable oils like peanut, cottonseed, soy, and sunflower. This variety in oils might affect the mouthfeel slightly compared to a single-oil roast. It seems like a cleaner option for those watching their sugar intake. I'd stash these in my purse for a classy, low-sugar treat during a movie night. The main trade-off is the oil blend; while it keeps the nuts fresh, it introduces multiple potential allergens (soy, peanut) and might not have the distinct flavor punch of a pure peanut oil roast.

Here we have Organic Whole Cashews Unsalted Unroasted, and the label is a dream: just organic cashews. No added oils, no salt, and 7g of sugar per 100g (likely natural to the nut). With a score of 9.3, it's clearly a quality product, but the texture will be totally different—soft and creamy rather than crunchy. This is the ultimate pick for adding to smoothies or baking where you control the flavor. I'd use these to make a homemade cashew cream for my morning coffee latte. The obvious trade-off is the lack of seasoning; if you eat them straight, they might taste pretty flat and require some serious effort to spice up yourself.

The Halves & Pieces Cashews have a higher sugar content at 16g per 100g, plus they use safflower/sunflower/canola oils, salt, and rosemary extract. The score of 8.4 is decent, but that sugar jump is noticeable. The rosemary extract adds a unique herbal note that might clash or complement the sweetness depending on your palate. These would be great sprinkled over a salad for a sweet crunch. The trade-off is definitely the texture and composition; since they are pieces rather than whole, you lose that satisfying intact nut feel, and the sugar might be too much if you're just looking for a savory snack.
