Question: Speaking of nuts, can you buy cashews still in their shells!?
cause i don't remember ever seeing them that way!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Cashews do NOT grow in a shell, they grow in a pod, and are actually poisonous until rinsed of their gummy outer toxins!.!.!.!.!.!.And cashews labled "raw" are NOT raw at all, as the human system cannot cope with the remaining toxicity that still remains!.!.!.!.!.Heating them to just over 120 degrees renders the toxin inert, and safe to eat!.!.!.!.!.That's why you'll NEVER see that one "nut" in a shell!.!.!.!.!.!.

Cashews aren't really nuts, and don't have the type of shells that true nuts do!. "Although a nut in the culinary sense, in the botanical sense the fruit of the cashew is a seed!."

Good question!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think Christopher knows his nuts !.!. so i will not dispute his answer!.!. Actually i guess you would have to go to the pod's source and see what they do look like!. I prefer them in a jar if they are that toxin!.!.Give me a peanut or a pecan which we have lots down here in the south!. Crack all you want of those!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have heard the shells are poison!. Where did I hear that!? I wouldn't want to be thoroughly scrubbing my hands every time I cracked a cashew but I would say you can buy almost anything if you have the money, even cashews still in their shells!. I would try e-bay!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I really don't know, I have never seen them in shells for as long as I can remember!. A star for you, in hopes that you get a lot of answers!. Maybe someone will be able to tell you if you can or not for sure!. Take care!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

no you can't and there is a reason why!.

Actually the cashew shell sits just below the fruit and the shell is taken out and roasted to get the cashew out of the shell!. it's a long process!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
