hurts like heaven cashew cheese spread
cashew nuts are kidney shaped seeds found at the bottom of the cashew apple. the nuts are the produced fruit of the cashew tree and a native to northern brazil. with a mild sweetness and smooth texture the cashew not only adds flavor and body to many raw/living food recipes, they also boost your mood and stabilize your thoughts to help fight depression. they contain oleic acid, the same heart-healthy fat that is found in olive oil, making them a key factor in maintaining proper cardiovascular health. this cashew spread is a cheese alternative that is high-raw, vegan, non-dairy, wheat and gluten free, requires little time to prepare and tastes great with practically everything.
find yourself feeling a little bit nervous? calm down, eat cashews and be sure to use your heart like a weapon!

This sounds yummy! and way healthier than most other options that are comparable.

Mmmmm! This sounds delicious! I love cashews even though they are quite expensive here. I’ll definitely try this one out!
it’s worth it, maybe for a special occasion! what are the more affordable nuts or seeds in your area?
