How
come cashews are never sold in their shells?
You can buy almost every other nut in their shells, so why not cashews? Simple. Cashews are technically seeds. A cashew grows at the bottom at the cashew apple, an unusual fruit found in the tropics. While the cashew does come with a shell, you never want to eat a raw, unprocessed cashew! Cashew shells contain a liquid that is toxic. In fact, the cashew used to be called the blister nut, because that brown oil on the shell can blister human skin. What poisonous plant is the cashew tree related to? The cashew tree is a cousin of our poison ivy and poison sumac. What is cashew nut oil used for? I told you it was toxic. Cashew nut oil is sometimes used in insecticides and brake linings! It is also used in the manufacture of rubber and plastics. Greg Hopper
