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

    Well, for me they are the devil because I want as many of them as possible to get in my belly, as quickly as possible, whereas almonds are ok but kind of have the consistency of twigs and don't trigger a big binge.

    Your mileage may vary.

    ...anybody got any cashews?

    They are not the devil, but they are her favorite snack food. Hence their bad reputation.

    I've doing fine while eating them almost daily. Good fats, some protein and nice to nibble. Sounds like the devil :)

    Cashews are creamy goodness with a salty covering...:smooched: :heart: :devil: Therefore some people, like me, have a very hard time just eating the serving size of them...

    my young daughter once stole her grandpa's can of cashews- and ate the entire thing...
    which resulted in.....uh.....lots of running........and not the kind you log as exercise....

    that was pure hell......so perhaps you're onto something....

    Yes, cashews are the devil. Haven't you noticed that when you line 3 of them up just right, it looks like 666?

    Definitely the devil.

    Cashews buttery deliciousness are very evil, i can't keep my hands off those little evil *kitten*, especially kirkland brand - world's most addicting cashews. I go on cashew rehab once in a while, but that's all worth it when I have cashew binge. and yes pistachios are amazingly delicious as well. Almonds are just meh.

    I don't know if they are the devil but they are no where near being like almonds. They have about half the fiber, twice the carbs, three times the saturated fat, and more calories. Pretty much none of their numbers match up besides protein.

    Almonds are just meh.

    The only useful purpose of almonds is biscotti.

    Or flicking at traffic wardens.
