In short
For the same 100 calories you eat 17 g of cashews or 17 g of almonds. Both get most of their calories from fat.
More in cashews: copper (2.1×), vitamin K and saturated fat (2.3×). More in almonds: vitamin E, riboflavin (5.7×) and fiber (3.5×). Everything else is within 4% of a day's needs.

Where they differ
Bar length is the share of a day's needs (FDA Daily Value) in 100 calories of each. Every row uses the same scale, so a short difference in length is a small difference. Color says which food, never which is better.
