Lagrange points, the O'Neill cylinder, and the usage of Helium-3 as an energy source are instances of this.

Cashews are dried and roasted after harvesting in a long process that removes harmful oils and makes the shell brittle and simple to remove.

They are frequently served in Spain and Portugal! Unfortunately, humans in the Great Lakes (and the rest of America) haven't developed a taste for them, thus population control tactics must be maintained to prevent the sea lamprey from wreaking additional havoc on the region.
