The tree requires a year-round tropical climate and is a smaller size, ranging from 15 – 30′ tall. The ones from the store are already quite processed, even the “raw” ones, obviously, or else there would be a lot of blistered faces and litigation. You can grow cashew trees from seed, though you’re never going to find good seed unless there’s a cashew growing in your neighborhood. What’s life without a bit of sizzled skin? Those killjoys. The sap from the wood, leaves, and flowers may also cause dermatitis and the smoke from burning any part of the tree is poisonous. Removal of the kernel from raw nuts requires special precautions and procedures. This oil is poisonous and acts as a powerful vesicant, causing extensive blistering of the skin (dermatitis). The shell contains a reddish-brown, viscous, oily liquid composed of various phenolic lipids. Homeowners should not attempt shelling and consuming the cashew nut produced by cashew trees grown in the home landscape. The University of Florida actually warns against trying to process your own nuts: After the roasting process the nuts are dumped into ash or sawdust to remove the excess shell oil still clinging to the shells. The shell oil flows through the holes in the cylinder and is collected in a catch through. A more efficient method is to use a slanting perforated cylinder that is rotated above a fire. Acid fumes are released and if the nuts should catch fire the flames can be doused with water. The simplest roasting method is to heat the nuts for about a minute in an open pan with holes. The easiest method to wet the shells is to heap the nuts into big piles and to use sprinklers intermittently. Moisture makes the kernel slightly rubbery and limits breakage of the kernels. Before the nuts are roasted they must be soaked in water-the moisture in the shell facilitates the rupturing of the cells containing shell oil and retaining it in the shell. Kernels must be protected from contamination by the shell oil because it would cause blisters in the mouth and throat when eaten. Hand shelling is impossible if the shell oil has not been removed previously. Nuts are roasted to discharge the caustic shell oil and acrid fumes. Properly dried nuts can be stored for 2 years before being shelled. ![]() Harvested nuts are dried in the sun for a few days. Though the fruits are edible, the seed (the cashew “nut” itself) is surrounded by a vicious toxin that will cause blisters and even blindness, making processing it to get the tasty nuts really a major pain – sometimes literally!Ī publication from the South African Department of Agriculture says why: Related to mangoes, sumac, the much-hated Brazilian pepper and even poison ivy, cashews also have a dark side. Growing cashews will make you the envy of your neighborhood ![]()
