- Sauces
These unsalted cashews are ready to eat as a snack, offering a satisfying crunch. For cooking, they can be toasted to enhance their nutty flavor, either in a dry pan or in the oven. They are excellent ground into a paste for creamy vegan sauces or used whole in stir-fries and curries. They also add texture and richness when blended into smoothies or used as a topping for desserts and breakfast bowls. Their mild taste allows them to absorb other flavors well.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the remaining cashews in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This helps prevent them from becoming stale or absorbing unwanted odors. For longer storage, they can be kept in the refrigerator or freezer.
