What nut is poisonous until roasted?

Chef's answer
The toxin is found around the cashew shell and can leach out onto the exterior of the nut itself. If you were to handle or consume cashews in their raw form, you would likely experience a reaction similar to that caused by poison ivy, such as an itchy and inflamed skin rash that may cause a burning sensation.
