Guest guest Posted January 30, 2001 Report Share Posted January 30, 2001 Soaking them in warm water for a few hours will make raw cashews quite digestible. Trader Joe's raw cashews are ready to eat from the bag, unlike some brands that do need the soaking.<br><br>With an apple, raw cashews are a nice meal, which I used to get me through the obnoxious popcorn smells during my recent viewing of the movie 'Traffic'.<br><br>Sometimes I eat raw cashews with raw goat cheese and unheated lecithin for a raw 'fat meal', which I enjoy as quasi-ecstatically as I do all my raw-food meals. Eating is so fabulously enjoyable now! <br><br>As with the long-gone pangs for cigarettes or booze, craving for cooked food is a dim and long unexercised memory. It was months after they disappeared that I even remembered all the aches and pains I used to have, afflictions that just plain snuck out of my life, unnoticed and unmourned. That's what will happen to anyone who goes 99-100% raw. It's physical saintliness and aristocracy both. <br><br>One of these day's I'll go to the UCLA Flu-Studies center and get my nose dosed with rhinovirus and watch their amazement when I don't get a cold. I will be classified as an 'anomaly', my eccentric diet a mere coincidental factor, 'Surely not the real reason--probably just some unique kind of natural vitality'. A thousand raw-foodists could get so tested, and you'd just have a thousand 'anomalies' to be filed away and forgotten. No peer-reviewed 'Food Science' academic journal would let it get reported.<br><br>Too bad Tom Hanks couldn't have gotten converted, so he would publicize raw food as his diet after he got back to civilization.
