Cashews are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used to add flavor, texture and crunch to savory dishes. Cashews come in several different forms and types, including whole nuts, pieces or bits of various sizes, roasted cashew pieces and smoked cashew pieces. The number one question we get from consumers is “what is the difference between them?” Here’s everything you need to know about each:
Creamy Cashews
Creamy Cashews are a type of flavored cashew that contains a creamy coating. They are usually coated in either chocolate or caramel, and they do not tend to be spicy. The primary ingredient is cashews, but there may also be other ingredients such as sugar, milk and butterfat added to create the flavor profile.
Although they’re not crunchy like traditional nuts, Creamy Cashews can be considered sweetened because they contain sugar (and sometimes even high fructose corn syrup). However, this sweetness is balanced out by the richness of its coating which makes them perfect for snacking on! If you have blood sugar issues or diabetes then these might not be ideal choices since they’re so high in carbs from both natural sugars as well as added sugars like table sugar (sucrose) or high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).
However if you don’t have any medical conditions like these then go ahead and enjoy these delicious treats without worry–they won’t hurt anyone! Just remember though: keep them refrigerated at all times before opening them up; once opened simply wrap each one individually with plastic wrap so no air gets into contact with them; also make sure nothing touches each other inside your container otherwise humidity levels rise causing mold growth over time which isn’t good either!
Honey-Roasted Cashews
Honey-roasted cashews are a classic flavor, and for good reason. They’re sweet, salty, and delicious–and they’re also easy to make at home.
Honey-roasted cashews are made by coating raw cashews in honey syrup before roasting them in the oven. The result is a crunchy snack with a sweet and salty flavor that’s sure to be enjoyed by everyone in your family (or office).
For this recipe, you’ll need raw cashews, honey, and water. You can also add seasonings like cinnamon and nutmeg if you want to make a fall-inspired version of honey-roasted cashews.
Toasted Curry Spice Cashews

If you’re looking for a slightly spicy nut that’s not too overpowering, then these are your best bet. The toasted curry flavor is mild and delicious, especially if you like Indian food. They’re also great for people who don’t have a lot of experience with spicy foods–it’s hard to go wrong with this one!
This flavor is harder to find than others, but if you can get them at an Indian grocery store or specialty shop near you (or online), give them a try! You might just discover something new that becomes one of your favorites.

Chili Lime Cashews
Chili lime cashews are a popular snack for many different occasions. They’re often served with beer, but they can go well with any beverage you want to pair them with. Chili lime cashews make a great addition to parties and game nights because they have just the right amount of sweetness and spice to satisfy your taste buds without being overpowering.
You can make chili lime cashews at home by roasting the nuts in an oven until they’re golden brown, then tossing them in spices like pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (or chili powder), and cilantro before serving them on their own or mixing them into another dish like hummus or guacamole!

These cashew varieties are the perfect way to add a little something extra to your next party snack or dinner. You can use them as an appetizer, in salads and soups, or even as a topping for ice cream!
The cashews come in four varieties: honey curry, chili lime garlic, salt & pepper and classic salted. They are all natural, gluten free and kosher certified. The honey curry cashews have a light sweet taste that goes perfectly with the curry flavor of the nut.
Rosemary Garlic Cashews
Rosemary and garlic are both herbs that have been used for centuries to promote good health. Rosemary is a great source of vitamin K, which helps your body absorb calcium and other nutrients. Garlic has been linked to lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart disease, as well as boosting your immune system by fighting off bacteria in your body.
Rosemary Garlic Cashews are a flavorful way to get all these benefits without adding too many extra calories or fat grams! These nuts are more expensive than plain cashews or almonds because they’ve been roasted with oil, so you’ll pay more per ounce than if you were buying regular raw nuts at the supermarket or bulk bin at Whole Foods Market (although if money is tight I’d recommend getting plain peanuts). But trust me–the flavor is worth it!
To make these Rosemary Garlic Cashews just roast the nuts with oil and herbs in the oven until they’re golden brown. Then pour them onto a rack to cool and crisp up before eating. They are delicious as an appetizer or snack on their own, but they also go great with wine or beer!
