momofthree Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I have read that cashews are a legume:( however, I have not seen them addressed on the forum. Are they allowed? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted May 31, 2012 Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summer Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Hi momofthree - Cashews are not a "best choice" recommendation but rather on the list for an occasional choice as they have polyunsaturated fat that can be pro-inflammatory. Try macadamia and hazelnuts as a better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
