The objective of this work was to quantify the nutrients Ba, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, P and Zn in the pseudofruit of Cashew Anacardium occidentale L. from the cities of Amajari, Boa Vista, São João do Baliza and Caroebe do State of Roraima. For this purpose, 26 cashew samples distributed in the municipalities of Boa Vista, Amajari, São João da Baliza and Caroebe were collected. The results showed that the cashew fruit from the State of Roraima had an average of 84% moisture and 0.21% ash. In all samples the concentrations for Ba, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn were below the quantification limit of the inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer. The concentrations for Ca, K, Mg, Na and P were in the range of 4.4-72.1, 56.0-918.8, 39.2-163.6, 22.2-155.8 and 59.7-201.8 mg kg-1, respectively. The results obtained are in line with the TACO reference values.
