The average American consumes over 2 pounds of tree nuts per year, yet many are unaware of the hidden dangers in some varieties. This raises a critical question for consumers: are any nuts toxic to humans? The answer is yes, though most common, commercially available nuts are completely safe, thanks to specific processing methods.

Did you know that commercially available "raw" cashews are never truly raw? This is because the raw cashews, especially in their shells, contain a toxic oil that must be removed through processing to be safe for consumption. This highlights a crucial fact for anyone interested in a wholesome nutrition diet: not all nuts are safe to eat directly from their shells.
