Cashew Butter
We take our high quality dry roasted cashews and blend them down in our in-house nut mill to make a pure, creamy cashew butter. This mild tasting spread contains no additives, including sugar or salt – often found in commercial nut butters, it's preservative free and ready to eat by the spoonful! Cashew butter is delicious as a spread or can be added to desserts, raw food recipes, savoury and sweet baked goods.
It has a mild sweet flavour and milky texture with all the added health benefits of cashews. Cashew nuts are high in copper, a trace mineral that is essential for immune function, heart muscles and iron and fat metabolism and are a good source of iron, B6 and potassium. They are also rich in the mineral magnesium, important for over 300 different reactions involved in blood sugar balance, muscular contraction, sleep maintenance and pain management.
