widescreen78 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 So, after eating about 24 roasted, unsalted cashews out of a bag (over 3 days), I looked at the label and saw that the ingredients were "cashews and hydrogenated peanut oil". I know I should've looked at the label sooner - I usually read everything. I won't be eating any more of them, of course, but I have two questions: 1. Can any one recommend a good brand of cashews to order? I live out in the country and order a lot of my pantry staples. 2. I know it was probably a small amount of peanut oil, but I am committed to being 100% all and it's my first Whole30 - should I start my Whole30 over (I'm on day 6)? Thanks!

EmilyB456 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Check out Nuts.com. They are a good company and should have some dry-roasted or raw cashews, as well as a host of other Whole30-compliant goodies. I live in the country too, and use them a lot. Amazon should have some, too. If it was me, I'd just tack on 6 days to the end of the Whole30 and call it a Whole36. If you want to keep going without extending your Whole30, consider this a good lesson learned in label-reading. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tleef73 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I buy from a local organic market and the only ingredients are cashews and salt...I always look for DRY-roasted as they don't use oil in the roasting process. I was on day four (started March 18) and I smoked yesterday...so I am restarting again today...even though my food has been 100% compliant! Let us know what you decide...I'm curious if you will restart or just keep on trucking! Cheers, Tamara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
widescreen78 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Thanks for the advice - I was really stressing about it this morning. And it was very much a lesson in label reading, I will be much more aware now. Thanks for the tips on ordering nuts and the dry-roasting too. I am going to tack 6 days to end of my Whole30 - I was already thinking about doing a Whole45 anyway, because my eating habits before were absolutely horrible. Keep strong on the quitting smoking - I have had two good friends quit in the last two years and from watching them go through it, I know it's not easy. But, if you're strong enough to eat 100% compliant you're one step closer to being able to call yourself a non-smoker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
