No. They are not a good food to eat instinctively because they have been heated in processing, just as Tom reported. You will not find any instincto-quality cashews in the USA. ORKOS, the French instincto-food distributer, claims to have truly raw cashews--the only I've ever heard of... Sprouted peanuts will give you a much better stop, and probably a couple farts as well ;) Cheers, Kirt
