About Cashew cheese
Cashew cheese is a creamy, dairy-free alternative made primarily from blended cashews, water, and seasonings like nutritional yeast, garlic, and lemon juice for flavor. This plant-based option originated in vegan and vegetarian cuisines as a substitute for traditional cheese, offering a versatile spread or sauce for various dishes. Rich in healthy fats, cashews provide essential nutrients such as magnesium, copper, and protein, supporting heart health and maintaining strong bones. Additionally, cashew cheese is typically cholesterol-free and easier to digest compared to dairy products, making it suitable for those with lactose intolerance or seeking plant-based choices. While it is nutrient-dense, cashew cheese can be high in calories and fats, so moderation is advised if consumed as part of a balanced diet. The natural creaminess and customizable flavor profile make cashew cheese popular in dips, pasta sauces, and as a topping for entrees.
