Cashews are beloved across the globe for their delicious flavor and versatility. With their creamy texture, they can be enjoyed alone as a snack, incorporated into savory dishes or baked into sweets. They are well known as an alternative to many dairy products, making them an all-round favorite for vegans, vegetarians and health-conscious eaters of all stripes. As more and more people adopt a plant-based diet, the cashew will no doubt present numerous opportunities for product innovation.
