What it is
These are whole, unsalted cashews, meaning they are presented in their complete form without any added salt.

Cashews are tree nuts, and these are typically roasted or raw, depending on the specific product. This offering focuses on the natural state of the nut.
How people cook with it
Whole cashews are versatile in the kitchen, adding texture and richness to both sweet and savory dishes. They can be enjoyed on their own or incorporated into a wide range of culinary creations.
- Snack on them plain
- Add to trail mix
- Incorporate into stir-fries
- Blend into creamy sauces
You can enjoy these whole cashews straight from the package as a satisfying snack. For cooking, they can be lightly toasted in a dry pan to enhance their flavor and crunch before adding them to dishes. They are also a key ingredient in many vegan recipes, where they are soaked and blended to create dairy-free sauces, cheeses, and creams. Their natural creaminess makes them an excellent base for rich, smooth textures in both sweet and savory applications.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike chopped or broken cashews, whole cashews maintain their distinct shape, offering a more visually appealing presentation in dishes. Their texture can also be more consistent when used whole, providing a satisfying bite that might be lost if they were broken into smaller pieces.
Who it is for
Home cooks and snack enthusiasts often choose whole cashews for their versatility and natural appeal.
How to keep the rest
To keep the rest of your whole cashews fresh, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This helps to prevent them from becoming stale or absorbing unwanted odors. For longer storage, you can also keep them in the refrigerator.
