NicoleLouise76 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Hi There, A friend of mine suggested I watch this video from Dr. Gundry. http://silenceyourcravings.com/170124A.php?n=tab He's very aligned with Paleo/Whole30, talking about how lectins are bad for you, and how they are in grains, beans, nightshades, etc. However one of the big things that stood out to me is he says that Cashews are NOT a nut, they are actually a bean. Do our moderators have any insight/verification of this? It was the first I'd ever heard of that... P.S. The video is super annoying. He spent 10 minutes telling you what he's going to tell you without telling you anything - very transparently sales-pitchy. Ugh. Anyway - Cashews?

MeadowLily Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Robin Strathdee Whole9 Director of Communications Posted May 31, 2012 · From my research, a cashew is a seed, not a legume OR a nut. That makes it a-ok! Just be careful not to overeat ;0) Robin Strathdee says they're a seed as does the article below and one on the bottom says they're a nut. They're on the Whole 30 approved shopping list. http://blogs.naturalnews.com/are-cashews-nuts-or-fruits-or/ http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/cashews-nuts-legumes-3647.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtFossil Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Quote A cashew is a seed which is considered a nut in the culinary sense Wikipedia. It's best to avoid "hardening of the categories." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
