What would happen if i ate Raw Cashews

[jellyjelly]

Go a big bag of cashews, they have raw on the front but from the last thread it appears that if they look white they are cooked.

Anyway ate some now feel a bit funny but dont know if it is in my head!!

Unless you are allergic to nuts....nothing! You dno't have to cook cashews to eat them.

No not allergic, thought they had to be cooked to not be toxic - like pulses but i know not to eat them raw.

I don't think there are any nuts that need to be cooked (although someone will probably know better than me). But I do know they are very very tasty but also very very calorific, sadly.

they are perfectly safe, apart from being addictive

Thought cashews were ready to eat? Are the white ones not just in their natural state? ie not roasted, salted etc. I eat the white ones all the time and I've never thought to cook them.

raw just means not deep fried in peanut oil, and dipped in a vat of salt.

Thank god for that, i didnt want to go back to hospital again. Will try not to eat many, did taste funny without all the salt on them.
