Cashews & Rendering

Cashew is one of my favorite nuts.

From 1992 to 1996, I was a reporter, writer, editor, and researcher for an international weekly magazine on the financial and technical aspects of the chemical industry. My first position there was titled "Oils, Fats, and Waxes Editor." (I still love that title.)

While I wrote about such substances as Carnauba Wax and High Erucic Acid Rapeseed Oil, in regard to today's celebration, I also wrote about grease, both white and yellow; lard; and tallow (all from an industrial lubrication perspective). I also wrote about biodiesel fuel.

I was later promoted to more complex coverage areas: Flavors and Fragrances Editor; then Heavy and Agriculture Chemicals Editor; and then Market Research Editor.
