How do you reflavor nuts?
how do you replace a flavor on nuts? i did not see the label and bought some cashews that are spicy by mistake. Can the flavor be washed off and replaced?
Best Answer
If you want them to taste like cashews, there should be no need to "replace flavor" - you can attempt washing and then drying in the oven - results may vary depending on how the "spicy" was applied. Probably they will remain somewhat spicy, as those flavors tend to be fat-soluble, so they will get into the nut but not come out with a wash (and I can't really see "washing in oil" as an effective or economical technique.)
Giving them to someone that likes spicy things would be another option, and more reliable. Then buy some that are not spicy for you.

Quick Answer about "How do you reflavor nuts?"
The simplest way to toast a lot of nuts is in a medium oven (325° to 375°F). Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet with a rim (to keep wayward nuts from diving off the edge). If the nuts don't fit in a single layer, use two pans. Stay close by, and give the nuts a stir every few minutes.How do you get the flavor out of nuts?

Warm the Mixed Nuts in the Oven! Since the nuts are already toasted and seasoned with salt, they're really just getting revived in the oven after their long stay, cramped up, inside a tin.

While regular nuts and seeds can be a little softer, toasting makes them crunchy and firm. Without toasting, nuts tend to have a rather mild flavor that can easily become a little rancid if the nuts are not taken care of. Toasting helps to improve the natural flavor in a surprisingly intense and exciting way.Spiced Nuts Snack – Bruno Albouze
