PREPARATION OF THIS HEALTHY RECIPE
1. For best results, soak cashews in water overnight to remove phytates (anti-nutrients). In a pinch, you can get away with soaking chopped cashews for only ten minutes in hot water.
2. The next day, or at the end of soaking, strain and discard the water the cashews have been resting in.
3. Add soaked cashews to a high powered blender with 1 cup of fresh water,mineral salt, and 2tbsp lemon juice or ACV.
4. Blend cashews and all other ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
5. Serve as you would like a traditional dairy sour cream!

CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW
Decadently creamy, with a full and warm feel in your mouth and the slight pucker of sour, Cashew Sour Cream offers you a plant-based alternative to the typical dairy option.
This smooth and velvety whipped base is versatile! Make it into a sweet treat using our
Sweet Cashew Whipped Cream recipe and use it as a topping or a base for desserts. Whether made sour, sweet, or salty, this recipe will leave you feeling content, with a warm, satisfied belly.
Cashew Sour Cream is nourishing to your system. Naturally sweet and earthy, cashew will comfort and calm your frazzled nerves with their oily nature. This recipe soothes ambient stress with its heaviness, as cashews are both Ojas building and grounding. As an added bonus, their magnesium content relaxes muscles.
Because the
sour taste has the element of fire in its makeup, it cuts through the heaviness of the buttery cashews, increasing the digestibility of their rich fat content.
Sour taste encourages secretions throughout your entire digestive tract, moisturizing your gut. It stimulates your body to release oily
bile from your liver, gently cleansing both liver and blood of fats by pulling them into the digestive tract.
The antioxidant rich vitamin C of the lemons and Apple Cider Vinegar can boost immunity. These elements together create a combination that can help to carry you through the last stretches of the cold season.
