Why are cashews so popular that they have never been sold in shells? It's actually very simple, cashew nut shells are poisonous. This sumac plant has its own "self-defense" weapon-cashew nut shell liquid. Cashew nut shell liquid contains some chemical substances represented by cardanol, which can erode human skin. This is also a feature shared by the Anacardiaceae plants where cashew nuts are located.
Before the application of a mechanical cashew processing machine, shelling cashew nuts is an arduous task. First, the cashew nuts must be dried and then roasted on the fire until most of the toxic cashew nut shell liquid is dispersed and the shell bursts. Remove the nuts. Of course, even with the protection of gloves, shelling workers are often poisoned by cashew nutshells. The cashew nut kernels in commercial production also usually use professional equipment to peel cashew nuts.
