What it is

Cashew paste is made from ground cashews, which are tree nuts native to Brazil but now grown in tropical regions worldwide. The nuts are typically roasted and then ground into a smooth, creamy paste, often with the addition of a small amount of oil to achieve the desired consistency.

Why it's used

Cashew paste is used as a dairy-free alternative in products like ice cream, yogurt, and milk, providing a creamy texture and rich flavor. It also serves as a base for sauces, dips, and spreads, adding body and a nutty taste to both sweet and savory dishes.

Health notes

Cashew paste is recognized as safe by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of healthy fats, protein, and minerals. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated cashews and found them to be a nutritious food. While generally healthy, individuals with nut allergies should avoid cashew paste.

Allergen info
