Cashew Butter is a creamy paste of cashews which is high in protein , unsaturated fat and Vitamin B .
With the Nut Butters rage in the market , Cashew Butter is one of the most delicious . Of course the most common being the Peanut Butter , which too is as simple to make as the Almond Butter or the Cashew Butter .
Roasting the nuts is important while making Nut Butters , as the whole process becomes easier and quicker . The oils are quickly released from the roasted nuts and a delicious creamy paste is achieved . The Nut Butters made with raw nuts take longer, besides the flavor of roasted ones is any day better .
The butter tastes absolutely fantastic , and it can be used in smoothies , dips , desserts or just lick it off the spoon . While consuming any of these Nut Butters we should keep in mind the calorie intake . Read what Wiki has to say about this –
One tablespoon of unsalted cashew butter provides 94 calories, 12 percent of the daily value of fat and 8 percent of the daily value of saturated fat. However, it contains less fat than most nuts.

I am totally in love with the texture of the cashew butter… I am sure I would eat that by the spoonful… Beautiful props used…
Amazing texture to the cashew butter. I would love to taste it. My bookmarks folder is already way too long. I need to make a dent there:)
It is so smooth and creamy. There is a very popular ice cream brand here that uses cashew butter in their Vegan ice creams and although I am not Vegan, love it. The cashew butter gives it such a rich and creamy texture!
Loving that creamy, rich texture of the cashew butter. I enjoyed your nut butter series.
So rich and creamy cashew butter. Vegan substitute to normal butter and looks so delicious
