========================

From what I recall, the cashew has two shells, an outer and an inner.

In between these two is a dark or black sticky oozy caustic and toxic

substance. This is what makes raw cashews toxic if care is not taken in

their preparation. However, it is possible to get raw cashews and they

are not toxic themselves, it is the resin between the shells that is toxic.

Anyone feel free to jump in here and correct me if I am off on this.
