Date: February 23, 2008 02:44PM well, i really enjoyed the photos
i didn't know that the cashew apple only keeps for 24 hours ( IMAGINE!) and the seed itself ( the cashew) looked really intriguing also didn't know about the resin being tantamount to poison ivy and how careful they had to be to not get any on the cashew pretty cool yeah, i wondered too why they labeled nuts raw when they weren't raw and so he said they were labeled raw because even though they steam and sometimes boil ( in oil?) some nuts to a high degree they don't ROAST it afterwards so they consider it RAW CRAAAAZZZZYYYYY!!!! ha ha... that is just BONKERS! anyhow... i did try the raw cashew nuts before and it actually DID taste sweeter not sure if NFL sells them any more ( probably but i'm too lazy to check) it was neat the last time i got them, i made them into a little paste i think i got them twice then i forgot about them now i remember them i wonder what the technique is that they use in order to perfectly crack the exterior without intoxicating the interior with the resin wish they would spill the secret so i could do it myself at home anyone know or have ideas? I LOVE this site cuz u learn so much about BOTANY incredible~ Re: i just clicked on the cashew link on top of this forum

Date: February 23, 2008 05:58PM Industrial cracking devices and some type of solvent to remove the highly acidic spongy coating are used. A lot of energy that goes into the extraction of even one single nut. It seems kind of sad to me. Re: i just clicked on the cashew link on top of this forum

oh really? that isn't good too bad do u think its cuz they hung around their shelves too long and oxidized and the oils turned rancid? maybe we will have to climb those trees ourselves and use a great deal of ingenuity and several heavy rocks to accomplish this ourselves! arugula yeah, that really is kind of sad now that i thinnk about it unbelievable maybe they are not meant to be consumed by us afterall Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
