About Cashew Flour

Cashew flour is a finely ground product made from cashew kernels. It is used in baking, confectionery, crumb coatings, fillings, and some thickened mixtures, where its ground form is incorporated into other ingredients.

It has a mild nutty flavour and usually a soft, slightly granular texture. Depending on milling, it may be a fine flour or a somewhat coarser meal; whole-kernel and partially defatted materials can behave differently when mixed with liquids.

Cashew flour is usually pale cream to light tan. It may be made from raw-style or roasted kernels, and can describe ground whole kernels or more finely milled or partially defatted cashew material; these choices change colour, texture, fat content, and handling.

Portions & preparation

Use a reference for finely milled cashew flour rather than whole cashews or defatted meal. Portioning in baking should follow the recipe’s dry measure, and roasting, skin removal, added ingredients, and particle size can affect the comparable product.

Compare the right form: Match references to finely milled cashew flour, identifying whether it is blanched, roasted, skin-on, partially defatted, or blended.

Diet considerations

Cashew flour is plant-derived when it contains only milled cashews. Compatibility changes if blended with wheat or other cereals, dairy powders, egg, or flavorings. Its use in baked goods also depends on the surrounding recipe, including coatings, binders, sweeteners, and portion size, not merely the flour’s name.
