How to eat
Cashews are prepared for consumption in one of two ways: raw and roasted. The name “raw cashew” is misleading, as all cashews acceptable for consumption have been roasted once to remove both the cashew shell and the shell’s toxic oils. To change or enhance the flavor of roasted cashews, they are roasted a second time.
Raw cashews have a mild buttery flavor, which makes them more versatile than roasted cashews. Raw cashews are very popular to add to several recipes without having to worry that their flavor spoils the flavor of the food. They can add cashews to stews, soups.

Roasted nuts are also digested much more effectively, satisfying your hunger more quickly than raw nuts.
