About Cashew spread

Cashew spread is a creamy, plant-based spread made primarily from ground cashews blended with water, oils, and sometimes seasonings like salt or sweeteners. With origins rooted in vegetarian and vegan cuisine, it is often used as a dairy-free alternative to cream cheese or traditional nut butters. Cashews provide a rich source of healthy fats, protein, magnesium, and antioxidants, making the spread a nutrient-dense option for sandwiches, dips, or recipes. Due to its natural oils and creamy texture, it delivers a satisfying mouthfeel while supporting heart health through unsaturated fats. However, commercial versions may include added sugars or excess sodium, so checking ingredient labels is key for maintaining health-conscious choices. Its origins can be linked to global culinary traditions, particularly in regions where cashews grow abundantly, such as South Asia and Africa. Cashew spread is prized for its versatility, flavor, and contribution to vegan and vegetarian lifestyles.
