The perfect laxative

[Lon]

I take one particular med that has a negative side effect of constipation despite my high fiber diet and drinking plenty of water. I love CASHEWS and knew they were very nutrious but just discovered that they were a natural excellent laxative.. A hand full of these delicious nuts every afternoon with my wine sure does the trick

Or maybe it`s the wine.... :wink-new:

Seems that nuts have many good benefits for us. And they are good too

That's good to know Lon. I like cashews.

I was shocked the first time I saw a cashew before prepped for sale:

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

I absolutely cannot buy cashews! Cashews and pistachios are my favorite nuts and I have no self control. I would eat the entire can or bag.

I'm not fond of cashews but yep, with me it's pistachios! Can't stop!

Honey roasted peanuts here... nonstop muncheroo

I love cashews and buy them often but I also buy (salted) Dry roasted honeyed peanuts.

I sometimes sprinkle a few on my ice cream. I've also been known to sprinkle a few on chow mein.

I thought I read somewhere that cashews are not exactly nuts, like walnuts, pecans etc.

Anybody know? Maybe I'll google it.

Yes, they are really something aren't they?

Cashews are great, they used to be an upscale treat, but the local prices are very reasonable.

 

[HazyDavey]

Fruit, cashews/nuts, and some dark chocolate are my usual lunch snack.

Wine/beer comes later in the day.

 

[twinkles]

walnuts are my favorite

Now I am amazed! I knew that peanuts are not actually nuts, but look at this list-

-Peanuts (legume)

-Almonds (seed)

-Cashews (seed)

-Brazil nuts (seed)

-Hazelnuts (real nut!)
