Wondering if PLANTERS Deluxe Lightly Salted Whole Cashews are actually lightly salted? Here's what we found out. The manufacturer's product description says these cashews are roasted in peanut oil and have a sprinkle of sea salt, boasting 50% less sodium than their regular salted version.
So, they're designed to be a lower sodium option while still keeping that tasty flavor.
Based on our research, most folks feel these cashews nail the right amount of saltiness without going overboard. People say they taste crisp and fresh, with a mild, pleasant salt flavor.
However, there's some variability. Some have noticed that the saltiness can change from batch to batch, which might make them seem a bit less salted at times—probably due to natural differences or just personal taste.

According to what we found, many people think the roasting process is spot on, letting the natural flavor of the cashews blend nicely with the light salt seasoning.
If you're after a snack with a subtle salt taste rather than a strong salty hit, these cashews could be a good fit. They offer a nice, crunchy bite with gentle saltiness that many enjoy.
