What about those CASHEWS? It may not be the hardest shell, but it is the most dangerous.
How to Harvest Cashews Safely After harvesting cashew nuts, you may want to store them up until you have a decent number, because processing them is a bit of an ordeal. The edible meat of the cashew is surrounded by a shell and a very dangerous, caustic liquid related to poison ivy. USE CAUTION WHEN PROCESSING YOUR CASHEWS. Wear long sleeved clothing, gloves, and goggles to keep the liquid from getting on your skin or in your eyes. Never crack open an unprocessed nut. To process the nuts, roast them OUTSIDE (never inside, where the fumes can build up and be breathed in). Place the nuts in an old or disposable pan (now your designated cashew pan, as it may never get fully clean of the dangerous cashew oils). Either cover the pan with a lid or fill the pan with sand until the nuts are covered – the nuts will spit liquid as they heat up, and you want something to catch or absorb it. Roast the nuts at 350-400 F. (230-260 C.) for 10-20 minutes. After roasting, wash the nuts with soap and water (Wear gloves!) to remove any residual oil. Crack the nut open to reveal the meat inside. Roast the meat in coconut oil for 5 minutes before eating.
Cashews used to be my favorite nut. I am hearing they are not healthy and looking up this answer, I can see why.

Did outside dark forces do the cracking or did you self-crack? It makes a difference SP. If you self-crack you maintain sovereignty over thyself. You yield to no one. You decide when where how. I see a lotta cockatwos lately. Is there a convention somewhere? Thank you for your reply! :)
