    Cashews WERE the devil. Then I played this fiddle jam, and they quit.

    Now, it's Pinterest. Ir doesn't even respond to fiddling, either.

    Cashews are wonderful, peanuts are bad for you - I discovered as a five year old that they fit perfectly up your nostrils....

    Not one of my smartest experiments!!

    People who eat nuts twice a week are much less likely to gain weight than those who rarely eat nuts. Cashew nuts are indeed relatively high in fat, but it is considered "good fat." This is attributable to the ideal fat ratio in the nut, 1:2:1 for saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated, respectively, which is recommended by scientists for tip-top health. Cashew nuts contain less fat than most other popular nuts, including peanuts, pecans, almonds and walnuts. They are dense in energy and high in dietary fiber, making them a very valuable snack for managing weight gain.

    So eat up

    What's the story behind the Cashew hating? They seem to be almost exactly the same as Almonds, but everyone says that Almonds are good for you when you are losing weight but Cashews are bad. What's up with that?

    Who is saying cashews are bad? Everyone knows it's peanuts that are bad for health not cashews

    I love cashews, but they might be the devil.

    They are at least VERY weird...

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cashew
    in the botanical sense the nut of the cashew is a seed. The seed is surrounded by a double shell containing an allergenic phenolic resin, anacardic acid, a potent skin irritant chemically related to the better-known allergenic oil urushiol which is also a toxin found in the related poison ivy. Properly roasting cashews destroys the toxin, but it must be done outdoors as the smoke (not unlike that from burning poison ivy) contains urushiol droplets which can cause severe, sometimes life-threatening, reactions by irritating the lungs.
    The shell of the cashew nut is toxic, which is why the cashew is shelled before it is sold to consumers.
    The cashew nut can also be harvested in its tender form, when the shell has not hardened and is green in color. The shell is soft and can be cut with a knife and the kernel extracted, but it is still corrosive at this stage, so gloves are required.

    Maybe someone already said this. But, I think it's because people like raw nuts and cashews need to be heated up to remove them from the shell. That's all I got. I don't know. People latch onto things and rumors start. Rumors. Lot's of food rumors.
