I am just tossing into the conversation that cashew nuts (also called crowshaw nuts in W Africa) are not processed and used in some countries because the technique get getting the acids and toxins off the seed are unknown. The smoke from fires used to slow roast the outside off the piles of cashew nuts is extremely toxic - a well-known risk in Brazil and Mozambique for workers. Where's there's smoke there's toxins.
