Cashews are some of the most versatile nuts around. They can be used in anything from savory dishes like curries and stews to desserts like ice cream and cheesecake. And yet, despite their versatility, cashews don’t often get their due as a savory snack option. That’s where my spicy roasted cashew recipe comes in! These flavored cashews are packed with flavor and spice so you won’t have any problems keeping them around for longer than just one day.
Why Are Flavored Cashews Sometimes Contaminated?
Cashews are often processed in facilities that also process dairy products. In addition, cashew processing facilities are often contaminated with dairy products. Cashews are also frequently processed with the same equipment used to process dairy products, which can cause cross-contamination of these two ingredients.
Because of all this, it’s quite possible for flavored cashews to contain traces of milk or other animal products–even if the package says “vegan.”
The best way to avoid this is to read the label carefully. If it says “vegan,” then you’re good to go.
How Do I Know if the Flavored Cashews Are Vegan?
You can find out if a product is vegan by looking for the word “vegan” on the package. If you don’t see it, ask where you can find it at your local grocery store or health food store. If they don’t have any information about whether or not the product is vegan, then I would recommend not buying it.
If you’re still unsure of whether or not flavored cashews are vegan after doing all this research and asking around, then use your best judgment! If someone tells us that something isn’t going to hurt us (and we trust them), then we’re probably fine eating it–but if there’s any doubt whatsoever in our minds about what goes into making these snacks? Then we shouldn’t eat them!

Flavored cashews are not vegan.
The problem with flavored cashews is that they contain dairy, eggs and soy. Vegans can’t eat these products because they don’t want to harm animals or use animal products in their diet.
Flavored cashews are not available at any store that I know of, so if you want to try them out you’ll have to make them yourself!
- First, boil water on the stovetop until it reaches a rolling boil (this means bubbles rise up from the bottom). Then measure out 1 cup (240 mL) of raw unsalted cashews into a bowl or saucepan that has been greased with cooking spray so nothing sticks.* Add salt if desired* Stir continuously until all the nuts are covered in liquid.* Remove from heat when done; drain thoroughly before adding any seasonings or sauces.* You can also add other spices such as cayenne pepper flakes or chili powder if desired
, but don’t add any spices until after the nuts have been cooked. You can also add soy sauce, teriyaki sauce or even barbecue sauce for different flavors! Once you’ve added your desired seasonings and sauces, stir until well combined. Then place in an oven safe dish and bake at 350°F (177°C) for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Flavored cashews are a great snack option for vegans. They’re high in protein, low in fat and calories, and loaded with vitamins and minerals. Plus, they’re easy to eat on-the-go!
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to prepare a vegan recipe using cashews:
Step 1: Soak the cashews
- Take 1 cup of raw cashews and rinse them under cold water.
- Place the cashews in a bowl and cover them with water.
- Let the cashews soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. This will help soften them and make them easier to blend.
Step 2: Drain and rinse the cashews
- After soaking, drain the cashews and rinse them well under cold water.
- This step removes any remaining dirt or impurities and ensures a cleaner taste.
Step 3: Blend the cashews
- Place the soaked and rinsed cashews in a blender or food processor.
- Add ¼ cup of water to help with blending.
- Blend the cashews on high speed until you get a smooth and creamy consistency. This will take around 2-3 minutes.
- If the mixture is too thick, you can add more water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
Step 4: Use the cashew cream in your recipe
- Cashew cream can be used in a variety of vegan recipes, such as sauces, dressings, soups, desserts, and more.
- You can use it as a dairy-free alternative in recipes that call for heavy cream, milk, or yogurt.
- Be creative and experiment with different flavors and seasonings to suit your taste preferences.
Step 5: Store the cashew cream
- If you have any leftover cashew cream, transfer it to an airtight container.
- Store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Before using it again, give it a good stir as the cream may separate a bit during storage.
That’s it! You now know how to prepare cashew cream and can enjoy its benefits in your vegan recipes. Remember to adjust the amount of water and blending time based on the consistency you desire.
