Cashew Butter

Cashew Butter

Everyday

Cashew butter is a smooth, naturally sweet nut spread made by grinding roasted or raw cashews into a creamy consistency. It contains heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and notable magnesium content, though it typically has slightly less protein than peanut or almond butter. Many commercial varieties use minimal processing without added oils or sugars, making it a popular vegan, gluten-free option for spreads, sauces, and baking applications where mild nut flavor is preferred.
