How to use cashew nut butter

Cashew butter, as the name suggests, is a nut spread made from raw or roasted ground cashew nuts. Cashew nuts provide significant amounts of heart-healthy fats, essential amino acids and the dietary mineral magnesium to body. Cashew nut butter can now be easily integrated into your diet, as a nut butter alternative to peanut butter & other spreads, and can be easily added to smoothies or oatmeal, used as a dip or even as a base for certain vegan based products.

Suitability for a low FODMAP diet

We can confirm that at a tested serving size of 10g, cashew butter is low FODMAP, and is therefore appropriate for a low FODMAP diet. Good thing you can now purchase & consume it in small quantities, as opposed to other available spreads, such as jams and chutneys, which often contain large amounts of excess fructose; a problem FODMAP in those with fructose malabsorption.

Cashew nut butter usually contains around 18g of protein per 100g (around 36% of your daily intake), therefore including it in your daily diet can provide the body with an added boost of protein. This is particularly important if you are vegetarian or vegan as well, as many plant-based protein foods, such as legumes and lentils, can become high  FODMAP if recommended serving sizes are exceeded.
