We are offering cashew nuts. The cashew "nut" is actually a dry drupe and is the fruit of the tree. Its double shell has an inner and outer layer, connected by a porous layer of tissue that contains a caustic oil . The outer layer of the cashew is called the exocarp, and the thick inner layer is the endocarp. The middle layer containing the toxic oil is called the mesocarp the toxic liquid, called cashew nutshell oil, contains cardol, which is a urushiol (the same substance found in poison the shell also contains smaller amounts of anacardic acid and other acids [16]. The acids in the cashew shell are strong enough to cause dermatitis and severe burns to the skin, as well as the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat if ingested. Therefore, it is important that cashews be carefully shelled to prevent any of the oil from touching the seed. The seed inside the drupe, also referred to as the kernel, has two cotyledons, which is characteristic of dicot plants. It appears white and meaty before roasting . Since the cashew is technically a seed and not a nut, some people with nut allergies may still be able to eat cashews .
