Unless you thoroughly wash your hands between each pick each subsequent pick is like sticking your whole face in the remaining bowl of nuts.

Interesting side note.

The reason you never see cashews sold still in the shell is because they are from the poison ivy and sumac family. The shells contain a toxic oil that can cause skin reactions.

So cashews are processed by removing the shell and roasting or frying in oil to remove any remaining oil residue.

And now you know.

I love pistachios. I was always a little creeped out by the dyed red or green ones though. Glad they stopped that nonsense.

Not a huge walnut fan. I believe anything that calls for walnuts is better if you use pecans instead.

I don't think it's childish but knowing that they sell just cashews it seems like a bit of poor planning.

English walnuts are fine and quite mild. Black walnuts I can do without just to strong and overpowering flavor.
