What it is

Cashew butter is a spread made from roasted cashews that have been ground into a smooth or crunchy paste. It is a product of the cashew tree, native to northeastern Brazil. The process involves roasting the nuts and then blending them until they reach the desired consistency.

Why it's used

Cashew butter is used as a spread, a base for sauces, and an ingredient in baked goods and desserts. Manufacturers add it for its rich, creamy texture and nutty flavor. It is commonly found in snack bars, cereals, and as a dairy-free alternative in various recipes.

Cashew butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of healthy fats, protein, and minerals like magnesium and zinc. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cashew products. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.
