For an organic Father’s Day breakfast, choose raw cashew nuts if you want to add them to yoghurt or prepare them yourself; go for roasted nuts if you’d rather serve them as they are. Product information from AH and PLUS shows that organic varieties can also be baked or roasted and may contain sunflower oil. So check the organic label, ingredients, allergen information and pack size on the exact product you’re buying.

| Pack size | Choose a net weight that suits your plans and follow the storage instructions on the pack. | If I want to use the nuts after Father’s Day breakfast too, I choose a pack size that suits my plans. Around 13% of consumers prioritise pack size and use after Father’s Day. |
| Allergens | Check the current ingredients and allergen warnings on the exact product. | If the recipient has a specific allergy, I check the pack before buying and don’t serve cashew nuts to anyone with a known cashew allergy. Around 7% of consumers prioritise checking allergens for the intended recipient. |
