Benefits / Why people use it:

• Good source of healthy fats: Cashew butter provides a high proportion of unsaturated fats (mono- and poly-unsaturated), which are considered beneficial for heart and general health.

• Protein & energy-dense: With around 15 g protein and ~574 kcal per 100 g, it’s a calorie-dense nutrient source — useful for energy, muscle repair, or as a nutrient boost.

• Rich in minerals & micronutrients: Cashew butter (and cashews generally) supply minerals such as magnesium, iron, copper, zinc and others that support metabolism, bone health, and overall nutritional balance.

• Versatile & convenient: Creamy texture and neutral-nutty taste make it easy to spread on toast, stir into smoothies/porridge, use in baking or cooking — a flexible pantry staple.

• Clean ingredient profile: With just nuts and no additives/preservatives, it’s a “cleaner” nut butter option — good for people avoiding processed foods, additives or artificial ingredients.

Brief History:

Cashew nuts originate from the tropical cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale), which is native to Brazil. Indigenous communities first harvested and enjoyed cashews long before Portuguese explorers encountered the tree in the 1500s. The Portuguese later introduced cashews to India, Mozambique, and other parts of Africa, where the trees thrived in warm coastal climates. Over time, cashews became a valued global crop due to their rich taste, high nutritional value, and versatility. Today, countries like Vietnam, India, and parts of Africa—including Mozambique and Tanzania—are major producers, while cashews remain a beloved snack and ingredient around the world.
