About Nuts, cashew butter, plain, with salt added
Cashew butter is made by grinding roasted cashews into a soft, pourable paste. Cashews are naturally lower in oil and higher in starch than most nuts, which gives the butter a luxuriously smooth, almost caramel-like texture and a gentle, mild flavor that many people find more approachable than peanut or almond butter.
At about 587 calories per 100 grams it is rich and filling, built mostly on monounsaturated fat. It is a particularly good source of copper and magnesium, supplies manganese, zinc, iron and phosphorus, and brings a useful amount of plant protein. As with any nut butter the sensible serving is a spoonful or two, so a real portion carries a fraction of these per-100-gram numbers.
Its mellow taste makes cashew butter a favorite in cooking as well as on toast — it blends into creamy dairy-free sauces, curries and dressings, and adds body to smoothies and desserts. This entry is the salted version; unsalted jars are widely sold for those watching sodium.
