It is one of the four famous dried fruits (walnut, almond and hazelnut) in the world today. It is named because the fruit looks like a kidney (commonly known as kidney).
Chinese medicine believes that cashew nuts are sweet, flat and non-toxic. Can be used for treating cough, vexation and thirst. "Supplement to Materia Medica" said: cashew kernel "cures thirst, moistens the lungs, and eliminates annoyance and phlegm." "Herbs of Haiyao" also said: "The main symptoms are irritability, stuffy heart, excessive phlegm, typhoid fever, and cough against the qi. 」
Because cashew nuts are delicious and have a certain therapeutic effect, they are quite popular and like to eat. But eating too much often leads to some allergic symptoms, such as abdominal pain, nausea, edema of lips and eyelids, itchy throat, itchy eyes, ears and nose, sneezing, runny nose, dizziness and palpitation; In severe cases, children have systemic wheezing and adults have anaphylactic shock; The most dangerous is respiratory edema. If the larynx is edema, it will cause wheezing and suffocation, and failure in rescue will lead to death. Especially for people with original bronchial asthma, the condition will be more serious. When asthma attacks, bronchial sensitivity to irritants increases. Some components in cashew nuts can cause type I allergic reaction in asthma patients, and then a series of clinical allergic symptoms appear.
Medical experts pointed out that protein contained in cashew nuts can be an allergen for people with allergies, while people with cashew nut allergy symptoms generally have a history of other food allergies. Therefore, not only asthma patients should be careful to eat cashews, but people who are allergic to fish, shrimp and other foods are also likely to be allergic to cashews, so it is better to eat less.
There are other sayings.
Eating two cashews is equivalent to one egg.
Do you think it's not expensive?
hahaha
I hope it helps you.
