Based upon what I took a look at, it's bitter almonds that have amygdalin. In terms of dates, they apparently have high levels of cadmium and lead (same as cacao, by the way) depending on where they're grown. As for cashews, they're edible since they do come from the same species as poison ivy. For the cashew trade, I had no idea about the disgusting nature of it. Do you have proof for that I could look at?

bitter almonds have huge amounts of it yes, 400g of them would kill an adult. sweet almonds have a lot less and considered "safe" but it's a poison nonetheless. its present in the seeds of most stone fruits, and seeds of many others. like apples. prefer as close to zero cyanide in my body as possible as for the cashew trade, Google will be your friend. a 2018 Belgian study found only 3% of the cashew industry met fair trade conditions. most cashews are processed in India and Vietnam, which have rather lax labour laws.
