George We love cashew nuts. They are great nuts and work for almost every purpose, from thickening sauces or soups to adding to milkshakes. Our Homemade Cashew Butter is so easy to make and so delicious!
When we went vegan, so many recipes called for cashew butter and we remember how a tiny jar cost so much at the supermarket that we couldn’t believe it.
Additionally, this thick and creamy nut butter is a great alternative for peanut butter in case of allergies.
For the making of this cashew butter, you are going to need a high-speed blender. A normal blender couldn’t handle it. If you don’t own a high-speed blender, use a food processor instead. It will take a lot longer though.
We purchase our cashew nuts from Buywholefoodsonline, where you can buy in bulk. We are very satisfied with their service and products and the prices are so good. You can buy Cashew Nut Pieces 500 g here
