Here is more about [cashews](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cashew). The complicated processing is required because the edible nut is surrounded by a shell which contains [anacardic acid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anacardic_acids) compounds, powerful skin irritants related to poison ivy.

The processing video was taken at [Gold Cashew](https://goldcashew.vn/) in Vietnam.
