Dr Diep also said that most people in Vietnam still do not know what use seed particles are used only as a player but not use food as a food with high nutritional value. <br></p> <p>Also at the forum, many experts and foreign markets, companies said that Vietnam Most people do not understand the value of cashews. This is the main reason leading to this important foods has little place right in the place it was born. <br></p> <p>CONVENIENT AND THE VIETNAM taste <br></p> <p>When learning about the benefits of cashews, I tried to taste all the famous nuts consumers around the world are familiar with the market and is particularly good for health, such as almonds, walnuts, chestnuts and bargain. If comparison of delicious nuts do not have comparable Vietnam Cashew, especially cashews intact testa salt roasted crispy, fragrant are the "taste" of the Vietnam ... <br></p> <p>About comfortable eating salted cashew nuts (Vietnamese products are used the most people) are available for stripping rubbing silk mantle. And with macadamia nuts, they must use small metal fragments to peel because seed round, shiny, very hard shell, unable to use their hands to peel as cashews. Thus, the elderly and children is difficult when eating infected county ca. More dangerous is the risk that occurs when children have a habit of putting in your mouth to bite, by county round, smooth prone to drifting neck problems. Walnuts must use small hammer to hit it.
