Cashew butter

Due to their comparable textures, cashew butter and peanut butter make a tasty alternative for spreading or baking. Additionally, it's a great source of magnesium, a mineral necessary for controlling blood pressure and blood sugar. It may help adults in meeting the recommended Daily Value (DV) because it offers 20% of the Daily Value (DV) in a 2-tablespoon (32-gram) serving.

With 5.6 g of protein in the same 2-tablespoon (32-gram) serving, it has slightly less protein than peanut butter in terms of macronutrient content. Although there is little data on cashews' health advantages, one study found that consuming 28–64 g of them daily reduced levels of total and LDL (bad) cholesterol compared to the control group. You may also replace peanut butter with cashew butter in a 1:1 ratio and use it as a fruit dip, sandwich spread, or topping for yogurt or oatmeal.
