Oh boy! I read that eating raw cashews was best vs roasted. I heard on a program that consuming raw nuts benefits the body and eating roasted just adds weight to our body.
I've been eating raw cashews everyday for 3 years. Please explain the best ways to eat: walnuts, cashews and almonds. We, my family, eat these everyday in raw form.
Thank you
