Raw in-shell cashew nuts W210 are whole cashew nuts that are still enclosed within their natural shells and have not undergone any roasting or processing. The "W210" designation refers to the size of the cashew kernel, indicating that there are around 210 nuts per pound.
These cashew nuts are relatively large in size and offer a satisfying crunch when cracked open. They have a creamy texture and a mild, buttery flavor characteristic of cashews.
Cracking the shells of raw in-shell cashew nuts W210 can be done using a nutcracker or by applying gentle pressure. Once the shells are opened, the edible cashew kernels can be enjoyed as a snack, used in recipes, or further processed, such as roasting or grinding into cashew butter.
It's worth noting that the shells of cashew nuts contain a toxic resin called urushiol, so care should be taken when cracking them open to avoid contact with the resin. Proper storage in a cool, dry place will help maintain the freshness and quality of raw in-shell cashew nuts.
