What it is

Cashew flour is made from ground cashews. Cashews are tree nuts that grow on trees native to Brazil and are now cultivated in tropical regions worldwide. The nuts are typically roasted and then finely ground to create a flour-like consistency.

Why it's used

Cashew flour is used as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in baking, adding a slightly sweet, nutty flavor and a tender texture. It is often found in cookies, cakes, breads, and as a thickener in sauces and dairy-free "cheeses" and creams.

Health notes

Cashew flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of healthy fats, protein, and minerals. JECFA has evaluated cashews and found them safe for consumption. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Cashew flour is derived from cashews, which are classified as one of the 9 FDA major allergens (tree nuts). It does not contain gluten.
