We always thought that cashews grow on trees like other nuts, but were delighted to discover that

they grow out of a fruit that called "Cashew Apple" The apple is tasty, but a little astringent, and the locals use it to make all kind of drinks, including liqueur. The nut is inside a toxic liquid that can only opened safely after it is dried. This is done by applying heat. After this, the but itself is in a papery cover called "Teste" that can only be removed by heat again. The heat that is applied make the nut hard, as it is originally in a gel like state. By the way, the toxic liquid in the shell is used to make brake linings, and varnish among other industrial uses. We concluded that cashews can not be a raw food. You will find many recipes that include cashews in them, and you can do like we do and replace them with Macadamia Nuts or Pine Nuts. Some merchants sell "really raw" cashews, and we are not familiar what is the process that is used to process them. Study Shows Food Preparation May Play a Bigger Role in Chronic Disease than was Previously Thought How your food is cooked may be as important to your health as the food itself. Researchers now know more about a new class of toxins

that might soon become as important a risk factor for heart disease and metabolic disorders as trans fats. This class of toxins, called advanced glycation end products (AGEs), are absorbed into the body through the consumption of grilled, fried, or broiled animal products, such as meats and cheeses. AGEs, which are also produced when food products are sterilized and pasteurized, have been linked to inflammation, insulin resistance, diabetes, vascular and kidney disease, and Alzheimer's disease.

"God said, 'See, I give you every seed-bearing plant that is upon all the earth, and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit; they shall be yours for food. And to all the animals on land, to all the birds of the sky, and to everything that creeps on earth, in which there is the breath of life, [i give] all the green plants for food.' And it was so. And God saw all thatHe had made, and found it very good."
