How it differs from similar foods
Compared to peanut butter, cashew butter has a milder, sweeter flavor and a silkier texture. It lacks the slight bitterness that some peanuts can have. It is also generally a lighter color than many peanut butters. This makes it a good choice when you want a nutty flavor without overpowering other ingredients.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
To maintain its freshness, store the cashew butter in a cool, dry place. After opening, it is best to refrigerate it to prevent spoilage and maintain its texture. Stirring the butter before use may be necessary as natural oil separation can occur over time.
