The lima beans one is...interesting. I'm going to remember that, though, the next time I want to get some to cook with. :P I read once that cherry pits contain very small amounts of arsenic.

Cashews are closely related to the poison ivy plant. They naturally contain an oil with a chemical irritant in it similar to poison ivy. The nuts themselves aren't contaminated with the oil, but they're still roasted at high temperatures to make sure the oils are destroyed. That's why they're not commercially sold raw or in the shells.

Kind of a pointless post, but cool nevertheless. :)

...I like the fact threads, too.

Apple pips, cherry seeds, apricot kernels, peach stones, and plum stones all contain cyanide too.

Raw pistachio nuts are considered hazerdous cargo because they are prone to spontaneous combustion when stacked under pressure

Chocolate contains theobromine, which in unusually high doses can be toxic to humans. It would take a stupid amount of chocolate to have toxic effects though.

Workers harvesting pineapples often find that their fingerprints fade temporarily - the bromelain in the pineapples is corrosive. That's why pineapples tenderise meat, can leave your tongue feeling sore, and are good for digestion



Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level & beat you with experience
