They Can Be Salty

But really, we can all be a little salty now and then, right? The difference is that when we get salty, we’re just difficult to be around. When cashews get salty, they’re delicious. The beautiful thing about cashews is that they’re tasty on their own, with a mildly sweet flavor. They can take on almost any flavor you want to throw their way, and sometimes it’s best to keep it simple with some salt.

They Can Be Sweet

Not feeling salty? Would you prefer sweetness instead? Then go ahead and reach for a handful of cashews. Honey roasted or covered in chocolate, these nuts can bring on the sweet.

They Can Be Spicy

Variety is the spice of life, and sriracha is the spice of cashews. You don’t even have to stop at spicy, either. Why not have a spicy and sweet combo that will blow your tastebuds’ minds? We recommend the honey roasted chipotle cashews for those who want to go on a cashew-fueled adventure.

They Know How to Party

Cashews aren’t picky. They’ll party with anybody. They’ll hang out with peanuts just as easily as they’ll hang out with almonds. Hey, even sunflower seeds can be invited to a cashew party because cashews taste good with almost anything. They’ll show up to your party, too. Add cashews to your party snacks, and they’ll be right at home.
