Honey Chilli Cashews

No. Natural honey is in the ingredients list: cashews, sugar, honey, chilli powder, which rules out strict veganism, even though there's no dairy or animal product in the recipe otherwise. Vegetarian, yes, without question. Vegan, no.

Not in the ingredients themselves: cashews, sugar, honey, and chilli powder are the full list; there's nothing dairy among them.

Honey Chilli Cashews are made with chilli powder and combine sweetness from the honey coating with chilli heat. Nuts Oasis describes them as offering "bold, sweet heat", so they're designed more around the combination of sweet and spicy flavours than intense heat. How spicy they taste will naturally depend on your own tolerance for chilli.

Honey Chilli Cashews contain 44.1g of sugars per 100g. That's a relatively high amount, particularly for a snack, and the recipe includes both sugar and honey. The 44.1g figure is the total sugars value shown on the nutrition information, so it shouldn't automatically be treated as 44.1g of free sugars. These cashews are better suited to enjoying as an occasional sweet treat rather than something to eat in large quantities every day.

It can for some people. Spicy foods may trigger or worsen symptoms of acid reflux, and people with IBS can also find that spicy foods aggravate their symptoms. Honey Chilli Cashews contain chilli powder, so if you already know that spicy foods tend to cause heartburn or stomach discomfort for you, it's worth taking that into account. Individual tolerance varies, and the amount of chilli in a snack doesn't affect everyone in the same way.

Not suitable for babies under 12 months because it contains honey. Whole cashews are also a choking hazard for children under 5, so this product should not be given to young children in its whole-nut form.

Keep them in a cool, dry place and seal the packaging tightly after opening. This helps protect the cashews and their coating from moisture and keeps them in better condition. A dry kitchen cupboard away from sources of heat and steam is a sensible place to store them.
