Cashew Paste

Cashew Paste

Everyday

Cashew paste is a smooth, creamy spread made from finely ground cashew nuts, valued for its rich texture and naturally sweet, buttery flavor. This versatile ingredient provides a concentrated source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and plant-based protein, with notable amounts of magnesium and zinc. While commonly used in vegan recipes as a dairy substitute for creamy sauces and desserts, its mild taste also adapts well to savory dishes like curries and dressings.
