It's a price I'm willing to pay. I have never been able to find as intense S&O blend as that specific brand.

smoked cashews are amazing.

>> No.18684495

Because they are supposed to fulfill the calorie needs of a plant germ for weeks until the plant is large enough to photosynthesize.

That, and smoked almonds are the only flavours I want in nuts, besides salt.

I only eat cashews because I enjoy the thought of suffering third world slaves crippling themselves to make me a snack.

Try them roasted in the oven with sriracha. The only proper use for that garbage sauce.

What is phytic acid and why should we care?
Phytic acid is the storage form of phosphorus found in many plants, especially in the bran or hull of grains and in nuts and seeds. Although herbivores like cows and sheep can digest phytic acid, humans can’t. This is bad news because phytic acid binds to minerals (especially iron and zinc) in food and prevents us from absorbing them. 3 Studies suggest that we absorb approximately 20 percent more zinc and 60 percent more magnesium from our food when phytic acid is absent4. It’s important to note that phytic acid does not leach minerals that are already stored in the body; it only inhibits the absorption of minerals from food in which phytic acid is present.
