UNSWEETENED CREAMY CASHEW BUTTER
Analysis updated August 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This cashew butter is primarily made from dry roasted organically grown cashews, which are nutrient-dense and provide healthy fats and protein. However, the inclusion of organic sunflower oil, a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, introduces a potential for inflammation if consumed in excess. The product is moderately processed, which affects its overall score, but the use of organic ingredients and minimal additives is a positive aspect.
Key ingredients 2
Dry Roasted CashewsGood
Cashews are a nutrient-dense nut providing healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals. The dry roasting process enhances flavor without adding unhealthy fats. Being organically grown, they are free from synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.
Risks
Cashews can be allergenic for some individuals and may cause allergic reactions.
Benefits
Rich in monounsaturated fats, which support heart health, and contain magnesium and zinc, which are beneficial for bone health and immune function.
Organic Sunflower OilVery Bad
Sunflower oil is a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, which can promote inflammation if consumed in excess. Despite being organic, it is still processed and can contribute to an imbalanced omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. The extraction process often involves high heat, which can degrade beneficial compounds.
Risks
High omega-6 content may promote inflammation when consumed in excess, potentially increasing the risk of chronic diseases.
