Guest guest Posted November 8, 2001 Report Share Posted November 8, 2001 & gt; & gt;<br> & gt; & gt;<br>You can get truly raw cashews from <br><a href=http://www.rawfood.com target=new>http://www.rawfood.com</a><br>They are hand opened. They are much softer than regular so called raw cashews. They are about $12.50 per pound. <br>They are pretty good. <br> & gt; & gt;<br> & gt; & gt;<br><br>Even with the conventional methods of processing cashews, the workers often sustain injuries as a result of being splattered by the posisonous substance when the cashews are opened. I did visit the web site and read about the method they use that does not involve heating of the cashews. From their description, i am inclined to beleive that their method could possibly result in an even greater number of injuries to workers than the traditional methods that use heat, that is just my educated guess, it could be wrong. They workers would need to use some sort of tool that places them at quite some distance away from the cashews when they are opened in order to not be injured.<br><br>However, i have a feeling that they have not adequately thought about the consequences of being the first supplier of unheated cashews. It is possible that others will follow in their steps, and use mehtods similar to theirs, but these other cashew suppliers may not be as careful in using a method that fully protects their workers as the one used by the people at rawffood.com. <br><br>So, for now, i will not eat any cashew by any companies that do not use heat util i am sure that the Indonesian workers are not receiving injuries as a result of the new method, and that there is an employee of rawfood.com who is actually physically present in Indonesia for a long period of time to observe that the workers are not being injured.<br><br> & gt; & gt;<br> & gt; & gt;<br>As far as Juliano, yes he does use some ingredients that are not raw.

I wasn't singling him out, some other supposed 'raw' recipe books also have many ingredients that are heated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
