Cashews
Kidney-shaped, buttery nuts used in cookies and candy, and soaked and blended into creamy dairy-free fillings and sauces.
- Baking ingredients and additives
Cashews are soft and mild, which makes them the favorite base for vegan cheesecakes and creams: soaked raw cashews blend smooth with liquid. Roasted cashews add crunch to cookies and brittle.
Cashews grow on the outside of the cashew apple and must be processed before sale because the shell contains an irritant.
