La description
The raw cashews are then roasted at high heat, either by steaming
them in a large rotating drum or vat of boiling oil to remove
urushiol remnants before they can be shelled, thoroughly dried, and
peeled. At this point, these cashews are still often labeled as
raw, since theyre free of added flavorings. Cashews may be roasted
a second time for flavoring purposes if theyre being sold as
roasted cashews. Another round of roasting may also help ensure any
remaining urushiol residue is removed before sale. Commercial
cashews are then ready for quality checks, packaging, and sale.
SUMMARY Truly raw cashews are still in their shell, which cannot be
eaten. Even cashews sold as raw have been roasted once after being
carefully harvested and shelled to remove any toxic oil residue.
What toxins do they contain? Cashews naturally contain a toxin
called urushiol. Urushiol is a substance found in all members of
the Anacardiaceae family of trees, which includes cashews, mango,
poison ivy, poison oak, sumac, Peruvian peppers, and pistachios
(3). While urushiol resides in all parts of the plant, including
the roots, stem, and leaves, it also tends to sit in the oil
between the cashew shell and nut inside. Coming into contact with
urushiol commonly results in allergic contact dermatitis, a delayed
skin rash in humans thats similar to one you might experience after
exposure to poison ivy (4). An urushiol-induced skin rash appears
as bumps or patches on the skin that are itchy, inflamed, and may
have secretions, potentially even causing an intense burning
sensation or localized swelling (3). A ***2 report from the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention outlined how 7,**0 bags of
cashews containing urushiol residue were sold along the East Coast
as part of a fundraiser, causing around *0% of the purchasers to
experience a rash (5, 6). In an older animal study, cashew nutshell
extract was fed to rats in varying amounts, resulting in a wide
range of symptoms, including licking, scratching, tremors,
increased pain sensitivity, mucus secretions, passive behavior, and
even death (7). The type and degree of reaction may depend on how
much urushiol youre exposed to and whether you consumed it or had
direct skin contact with it.
