Gut Nuts: Fermented Cashews
Gut Nuts - a happy accident that created the only fermented cashews in the world:
One day I found that our sprouting cashews were accidentally fermenting, smelling, and inviting sourdough aroma. I followed my gut and taste tasted them. Probiotics had generated delicious, savory, tangy, and Unami flavors crunchier than raw cashews. They’re fantastic by the handful on your charcuterie board or in your trail mix.
Fermented cashews have superpowers beyond the craveable taste and crunchy texture. Enjoy my creation!

HEALTH BENEFITS
What are the health benefits of fermented cashews?
We've submitted them for scientific verification via metabolomic analysis provided by Utah State University. We can only speculate that they will be quite similar to these benefits for our Gut Nuts fermented almonds before and after fermentation.
TEXTURE PROFILE
THE FIFTH TASTE: Savory/umami and sour are key flavors in diet as one of the five basic tastes(sweet, salty, sour, bitter and savory/umami) that is not well represented in the American palate, especially in snacks, which are dominated by sweet and/or salty.
POSTBIOTIC
What does it mean to be a postbiotic snack?
These snacks are considered postbiotic: “inanimate microorganisms and/or their components that confer a health benefit on the host.”
The positive gut health benefits of this product are postbiotic in nature, rather than probiotic, as dehydration, even at low temperatures, kills off all living organisms. It’s how we achieve shelf stability!
USES/PARINGS
These are perfect for crunchy snacking in whole form, adding to salads, dicing into crusts, or ground into a meal for savory cashew breads or muffins.
Naked Creamy Checks All The Boxes
Followers of many diets or no diets can love the indulgent feel of this natural sweetness and smoothness that doesn’t stick to your mouth.

TASTE THE DIFFERENCE
Stoneground
A low temperature, slow speed, ancient technology for food processing that avoids the oxidation and heavy metal contamination of modern high-speed metal food processors that make most commercially available nut butters.
Sprouted
Sprouted and soaked (for up to 12 hours) makes the almonds sweeter, more digestible, and more nutritious. Research shows that sprouting increases the polyphenol content of the almonds, boosting antioxidant activity.
Dehydrated
Dehydrating preserves the enzymes, flavor, and nutrition of sprouted almonds, without generating the carcinogenic acrylamide that results from roasting, as most nut butters are and contain.
