Cashew nuts

When selecting cashews, we pay attention to high quality and source them from cashew plantations in Central Africa and Asia that meet our high standards. This guarantees that only the best cashews with a rich, aromatic taste and optimum texture end up in our recyclable packaging.

Our cashews are a purely natural product, without any animal additives, which makes them an ideal food for vegetarians and vegans. Not only are they a delicious and filling snack, they are also an excellent source of plant-based protein. For vegans, they also provide a great base for preparing milk substitutes, cheese alternatives and creamy sauces.

Yes, like many other nuts, they are naturally gluten-free and therefore a good choice if you have a gluten intolerance or generally want to avoid gluten in your diet. They are also lactose-free*, with no added sugar and no added salt.

*According to recipe, cross-contamination possible.

Of course, you can buy cashews and nibble them straight from the packaging, as they come ready to eat. In their natural state, they are rich in nutrients, making them an ideal snack option for a vital life and part of a balanced diet.

Natural cashews are processed without the addition of oil or salt and therefore retain their original, mild flavor and nutrients. Roasted cashews, on the other hand, become crispier through the roasting process and develop a more intense, often nuttier flavor. The choice depends on personal preference and the intended use in dishes.

Cashews give your salad a deliciously nutty flavor. You can sprinkle them over the salad raw or lightly roasted to create a crunchy contrast to the fresh ingredients. They go particularly well with Asian salads, mixed leaf salads or as a topping for warm vegetable salads. Another great tip is to prepare a creamy cashew dressing. To do this, soak the kernels, then puree them and season with herbs and spices.

Due to their creamy texture, cashews are a popular base for making vegan cheese after soaking and pureeing. Soaking makes them soft, which makes them ideal for preparing spreadable cheese alternatives, creamy sauces and dips. With the addition of yeast flakes, spices and other ingredients, you can create a variety of flavors that are amazingly similar to cheese.

Cashew milk is a delicious, plant-based milk alternative that you can easily make yourself at home. To make it, soak cashews for a few hours or overnight, rinse them thoroughly and puree them with fresh water in a high-performance blender. The result is a creamy, mild plant milk that goes well with coffee, muesli or smoothies. Ideal for vegans, people with lactose intolerance and anyone else who likes to try new things.

For optimal storage, the same applies to cashews as to almonds, peanuts and other nut varieties: they should be protected from moisture, air and light. So keep them in a cool, dry place or in the fridge. Stored correctly, they can retain their flavor for several months. Always check the best-before date. You can recognize fresh kernels by a pleasant, slightly nutty smell, a firm, slightly creamy texture and a uniform beige color.
