natural cashew butter

[Rjredstorm1216]

I went to the grocery store before i went to back to college for the weekend and I picked up what I thought was natural peanut butter...To my surprise when I tasted it...it tasted different but good....when I looked at it I saw it was natural cashew butter...I know its probably not as good as natty pb but I was wondering if it was okay to use to substitute or use everyonce in awhile

Ingredients: Dry roasted cashews, expeller pressed safflower oil

You're good to go. Most "butters" are essentially the same with no real differences. If you have a food processor make your own with any nut you like and add a touch of coconut oil. Mmmmmmmm.........

it's fine, although if for optimal nutrition, always opt for RAW peanuts and preferably organic as listed on the butters for the ingredients. but dry roasted are fine, i use butters with roasted nuts in them from time to time

remember peanuts are "not really" a nut, and are rejected by some people with interests in nutrition.

I agree with the dude that said make your own, just blend up a load of nuts. If you change your mind about wanting a good body, mix in a load of honey too.

I read somewhere that even "raw" cashews are ofton boiled in oil to remove the shells...

the cashew butter is organic also...what about almond butter...is that good?

i do almond butter cuz i'm allergic to peanuts. (strangely enough I think i'm allergic to the soy butter too, I think its something to do with the roasting process since the almond butter does not use roasted almonds.)

Anyway, it tastes pretty decent and goes great with cottage cheese.

Only down side is that its $9 friggin dollars a jar. Although, its much cheaper than an ER trip or having to use a $150 Epi-Pen. Analphylactic shock FTL!

If you have a Co-Op by you, i think there all over the place, you can get a jar of cashew nut butter for 3 bucks this whole month...........
