From Cashew to Creamy: The Journey of Our Plant-Based Yogurt

Every morning, as the sun rises over farms, farmers begin their careful harvest of nature’s creamiest treasure: organic cashews. This is the beginning of a story that combines tested farming methods with modern innovation. At Forager Project, we’ve spent years perfecting the art of turning these hand-picked cashews into something extraordinary: a super creamy, probiotic-rich yogurt that proves the best dairy alternatives come straight from nature’s bounty.

Join us on a remarkable journey through the transformation of organic cashews into the dairy-free yogurt you love.

 

Starting at the Source

Our story begins in the fertile soils of Vietnam, Côte d’Ivoire, Cambodia, and India, where our partner farmers hand-pick organic cashews with care and dedication. These small farm partnerships allow us to source the highest-quality ingredients while supporting sustainable agriculture practices. Most of our cashews are grown without additional irrigation water, making them an environmentally conscious choice from the very start.

 

Why Cashews?

We chose cashews as the foundation of our yogurt for three compelling reasons:

  • Environmental Impact: Cashews require minimal water resources compared to dairy and other plant-based alternatives, aligning with our mission to protect our planet’s precious resources.
  • Nutritional Excellence: These remarkable nuts are packed with essential nutrients, including protein, monounsaturated fats, and vital minerals such as copper, calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, and magnesium.
  • Natural Creaminess: Cashews’ smooth, buttery texture creates the perfect base for yogurt, delivering the rich, creamy consistency that both vegans and dairy lovers crave.

 

A Transformational Process

Turning organic cashews into plant-based yogurt is a story of many small steps, mindful methods, and respect for ingredients. We’ve refined this process since 2017, focusing on what matters most—creating wholesome, dairy-free options that stay true to nature. Here’s how we make it happen.

 

Crafting Our Signature Base

Starting with organic cashews from our small farm partners, each nut is selected and cleaned with care. After a patient soaking period that brings out their natural richness, these cashews begin their transformation to become the base for our plant-based yogurt alternatives.

 

Creating the Culture

Our yogurt-making process mirrors traditional dairy yogurt production, but with a plant-based twist:

  • We add specific strains of live probiotics to culture the cashew base
  • The mixture is carefully monitored as it ferments to develop that classic tangy yogurt flavor
  • Temperature and time are precisely controlled to ensure consistent quality
