Cashew Butter

Cashew Butter is a smooth spread made from ground cashews and is used in many cuisines as a sandwich spread, in sauces, smoothies and baking. It’s prized for its creamy texture and mildly sweet, buttery flavor. Cashew butter contains 53g of fat per 100g, largely unsaturated fats that support heart health, and it supplies plant protein plus minerals like copper and magnesium. While it can be a nutrient-rich alternative to dairy spreads, it is energy-dense so moderate portions are best; it’s a good source of healthy monounsaturated fat and provides a useful plant-based protein boost.
