When Cashews Might Cause Issues (Rare & Specific)
1. Allergic Reactions (Most Serious Risk)
Why: Cashews are a tree nut, and tree nut allergies are common, often lifelong, and can be severe.
Symptoms: Hives, swelling, vomiting, difficulty breathing, anaphylaxis.
Action: If you have a known nut allergy, avoid cashews completely. Always read labels—cashews hide in sauces, vegan cheeses, and Asian dishes.
