What it is

How people cook with it
Cashew butter can be enjoyed in many ways, both sweet and savory. It adds richness and a nutty flavor to various dishes.
- Spread on toast
- Added to smoothies
- Used in sauces

Before use, stir the cashew butter well as oil separation is natural. It can be spread directly onto bread, crackers, or fruit slices. For a richer flavor in cooking, it can be incorporated into salad dressings, marinades, or used as a base for creamy sauces. It blends well into baked goods, adding moisture and a subtle nutty taste. It is also a delicious addition to homemade energy balls or granola bars.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to peanut butter, cashew butter typically has a milder, sweeter flavor profile and a silkier texture. Its lower oil content can also result in a less greasy feel. The absence of peanuts makes it a good alternative for those with peanut allergies.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Store the unopened jar in a cool, dry place. Once opened, keep it refrigerated to maintain freshness and prevent oil separation. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use. It can be stored in the refrigerator for several months.
