that noxious odor that went through your noses is probably the salicylic acid present on the nut’s shell…that acid is strong and very corrosive that it’s used to treat and burn off warts(sorry for the added info)

Hi. I am in Nicaragua and have obtained whole unroasted cashews. Can I roast them in my oven? Any suggestions how long? After that then what?
Thanks. Marilyn

Hubby was in Puerto Princesa during Lent. He bought roasted cashews in the old market. The cashews were packed in half-kilo bags which cost a hundred pesos each. They tasted very good, no aftertaste, but not so crunchy. So I reheated them in the toaster oven for about 4 minutes and they came out crunchy and became more flavorful. And the best thing is they were unsalted.

I just recently ate some cashews in Thailand with the skin still on that proved to be delicious. I usually eat ones that don’t need to be shelled, however I think the nuts with the skin on were slightly more crunchy.

Thanks Connie for the info. Actually way back in the 70’s n the deeper Quezon Province (my lolo’s farm), merong mga Aetas na nagtitinda ng mga veggies and carabao’s milk. Ewan lang kung ano na ang nagyari. I have a friend from Mindoro, and she wanted me to come to their town when I come this May, pero takot ako sa barko, and the plane fare is expensive, marami kasi ang sasama sa pagpunta ko eh.

Roasted highland… cashews? Hehehehe. That’s the only part that I hate about eating pili, separating the skin from the nuts.

Ehba, the “mama” who sold you the cashew nuts is most likely an Aeta, one of the indigenous people of Zambales. The Mangyan is from Mindoro though I must say some of the Mangyans who are mostly taller in stature may bear some resemblance to the Aetas such as the Irayas of Northern Mindoro. The Irayas have wavy or curly hair but are not as kinky as the Aetas.

The term Mangyan is also used as a generic term for the eight Mangyan indigenous groups or tribes who each have their own language and culture and set of customs distinct from each other. It is interesting to note that the Ratagnon Mangyans of southern Mindoro speak a language similar to the Cuyunens, the natives of Cuyo island of northern Palawan. The Hanunuo Mangyans of the south also have a pre Hispanic syllabic form of writing ( probably of Indic origin via Indonesia) similar to the Tagbanuas of Palawan.

The Mangyans are known for being stewards of the environment and practice sustainable agriculture. They do not have a sense of ownership of the land feeling that it is there for everybody’s sustenance. Too bad many of them are victims of encroachment of the lowlanders.

I know I digressed, but coming from Mindoro, I did not know much about our own katutubos until my more recent trips to my home province thru the Mangyan Heritage Center.
