Cashew Nuts
are a common ingredient in
Asian cooking. They can also be ground into a spread called cashew
butter similar to
peanut butter. Cashews have a very high
oil content, and they are used in some other nut butters to add
extra oil. Cashews contain 180 calories per ounce (6 calories per gram),
70% of which are from fat.
The liquid contained within
the shell casing of the cashew, known as Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL),
has a variety of industrial uses which were first developed in the
1930s. CNSL is fractionated in a process similar to the distillation of
petroleum, and has two primary end products: solids that are
pulverized and used as friction particle for brake linings, and an
amber-coloured liquid that is
aminated to create
phenalkamine curing agents and resin modifiers. Phenalkamines are
primarily used in
epoxy coatings for the marine and flooring markets, as they have
intense hydrophobic properties and are capable of remaining chemically
active at low temperatures.
Macadamia Nuts
The
nuts are a valuable
food crop. Only two of the species, M. integrifolia and M.
tetraphylla, are of commercial importance. The remainder of the
genus possess poisonous and/or inedible nuts, such as M. whelanii
and M. ternifolia; the toxicity is due to the presence of
cyanogenic glycosides. These glycosides can be removed by prolonged
leaching, a practice carried out by some
Indigenous Australian people in order to use these species as well.
Macadamia nuts are toxic to
dogs. Ingestion may result in macadamia nut
toxicosis, which is marked by
weakness with the inability
to stand within 12 hours of ingestion.
Recovery is usually within 48 hours.
