Sweet nut butters are a phenomenon that is gradually being pushed aside by their “healthier and functional” sibling. Creams offer an alternative to people with intolerances, to those with allergies, and to ordinary shoppers who care about what is on their menu. One of your favourite products from us, Powerlogy Cashew Cream 330 g, is made from organic-quality cashew nuts with no additives and no sugar. The other ingredients, which bring out the taste and lift the natural sweetness, are coconut and organic vanilla. Cashew cream contains minimal carbohydrates and is therefore also suitable for a low-carb or even keto style of eating and for vegans, and it has most recently won over the expert public as part of the Great Taste Awards.
A world award – cashew cream rated with two Great Taste stars
Our Powerlogy brand has made its mark with world experts several times. In the Great Taste Awards food competition, the products Powerlogy Nougat Cream 200 g, Power Pistacchio, Powerlogy Almond Cream 330 g and most recently Powerlogy Cashew Cream 330 g have all scored. This year too, 500 judges — experts in food quality and chefs — used blind tests to assess 12 772 products sent in from more than 100 different countries around the world. The organic cashew cream won over the judges of this gastronomic “Oscar”, and today it can boast two stars out of a maximum of three won at the Great Taste Awards 2019.
At Powerlogy we do our utmost to develop products that combine the power of pure taste with functionality for extra energy and above-average physical and mental performance. “We believe that good food changes thinking, and that is why all our products have a high nutritional value. Our passion is a progressive and effective way of living. The award from the Great Taste experts gives us even more appetite for working honestly on our Powerlogy products,” adds founder Dušan Plichta.
How did the new cashew cream come about?
The story of our cashew cream reaches back into the travelling past of founder Dušan Plichta. In the USA, Australia and western Europe he got used to quality nut butters and creams that were an ordinary part of a good diet. “In Slovakia, some time ago, apart from commercial peanut butters with added sugar and preservatives, we could not find a single product that appealed to us with its taste and at the same time met the most demanding quality criteria. With a vision of flawless food we therefore threw ourselves into research, and we tested more than 50 different brands at home and abroad. The Organic Food Festival in London became a breakthrough for us, where we gained important detailed knowledge for our recipe,” says Plichta.
We then spent several months testing the product with our partners in Slovak production. The result is a unique fresh cashew cream made from top-quality cashew nuts with no additives and no sugar. The only ingredient that brings out the taste and lifts the natural sweetness is coconut.
The old rule holds – not all nuts are the same!
It is well known that average commercial nuts are prone to mould and oxidation. Besides that, it is important to know that peanuts, for example, are not an entirely ideal source of nutrients given their high ratio of polyunsaturated fats, allergens and the unwanted intake of omega-6 fatty acids. From this point of view, almonds, cashews and coconuts are unique in their composition. Cashews not only have a great profile of monounsaturated fatty acids, which are an ideal source of energy for the body, but they also contain protein and, above all, plenty of vitamin E and fibre.
Everyone can run a simple test on themselves: try a different standard of snack and see for yourself how differently you feel after a delicious cashew cream with fruit, for example, compared with classic sweets.
How best to use cashew cream
- Just like classic butter, to eat directly or add to porridge, or
- Simply on a spoon and, to taste, with banana, strawberries or peaches.
- Worked into delicious smoothies, shakes or puddings.
- Worked into home baking or cooking as a source of good-quality fats.
- Making your own snacks in a low-carb or keto style; the product contains minimal carbohydrates.
