Z Natural Foods Cashew Milk Powder

The powder is extremely fine and tastes exactly as you would expect cashew powder to taste. I mix it in with matcha powder for a matcha latte every morning. It also is great for traveling since it can be hard to find alternative mild in some places.

I ordered this because cashew milk has virtually disappeared from the grocery stores. I am very pleased with how easy it is to prepare. I shake it up in a peanut butter plastic jar and it doesn’t separate as much as another cashew product I ordered previously. Tastes good, too. Definitely will order again. Price is about the same as when I bought half gallon cartons at the store.

Great to keep on hand whenever my lactose intolerant children are eating with us. I also use to make dairy free mixes for said children to use at their homes. I always keep a bag of two in my pantry.

4 stars for taste. However, check the Ingredients. Tapioca maltodextrin has a higher glycemic index than table sugar, and can cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels.

This does not dissolve, has clumps no matter how I try, so not good for cereal (unless you want to put it in a blender). Taste is great, and it's good for baking.

I make my own Chai Tea coffee creamer and this is used as the base. Mixes well with all the spices I use in it. Blends well in hot coffee.

At first glance - it was a very fine powder and seemed highly water soluble. Eating a spoonful of it right out of the package - it was delicious and unusually sweet but very gummy (sticking to the roof of my mouth like peanut butter) - perhaps because of the inulin. I tested it with cold water and there were too many clumps. I then used a whisk, still too clumpy. I made the second batch with hot water - still found many small clumps. Finally, I put it in a blender with hot water - while it foamed up nicely, there were still these little micro clumps. additionally - unlike the coconut milk powder that this company produces - the serving size is 15 per 1 lb package. I found that however, the serving size was more like 8 per 1 lb package. With the proper amount dissolved in water, I got a cloudy cup of cashew flavored water that wouldn't be suitable as a measurement for any kind of milk-product in recipes. When adding some to coffee and tea, unlike the coconut creamer and laird superfood creamer that I have used - this takes about 4x as many servings, and the flavor is nearly imperceptible. I think there may be a high ratio of inulin in this product, dissolving into the water and being pretty tasteless. I say this because I got one of those small puncturing temple headaches immediately when I ate the powder on its own - which is something that happens when I eat something highly sweetened and my blood sugar quickly spikes. When I was finally able to make a properly strongth batch with no clumps and resembling the thickness of homemade or store bought cashew milk - I drank 2 cups of it and immediately felt nauseaus. This wouldn't be something that would happen with any other kind of milk product, and I am lactose intolerance and even then - my intolerance doesn't kick in that quickly. I contacted the company through amazon and the company website with my concerns, and heard nothing back. Also - upon clicking on the website's third party organic verification links, they were dead - so it was difficult to trace the origin and manufacturing process of these cashews - which, I'm just making a guess here - are highly irridated and processed. The coconut milk powder, conversely - had a usda organic certification seal on it (though even these standards are dubious, and when dealing with international distribution, it gets even more sticky). Although I really liked the other product I purchased from this company - the complete lack of customer support, fishy website and questionable quality of this product will probably mean I am not going to be purchasing from them, anything, ever.

Think this is a very pure and very finely ground cashew powder. They have added inulin. This cashew powder does not have any chemicals added to make it "easy to blend" which is good in terms of no chemicals and such. But be aware of that reality when you are evaluating this product. I am using it as a non-dairy substitute for cream, essentially. Have been putting it in coffee. This powder is very lumpy once it is added into the hot coffee. But, hey, we have a frother gizmo, hand-operated, that really does the trick. Once I go at it with the frother, there is emulsification and even some frothing in the coffee cup. Very very little nut powder left on the bottom of the coffee cup. I think this is value for money.
