So I found out about the pasturisation of almonds and that non in US or Canada are really raw anymore. I don't get it though, are other nuts still available totally raw? should I still bother with almonds? I'm new so, idiot proof me XD

I order all my nuts online from raw food sites....

Pricey - but the only way to be sure!

You can go to Saudi Arabia, out into the desert of paran, climb over the barbed wire fence, to get to Mount Sinai and go past the huge cedar tree, to the almond tree and get a few cuttings off of that tree, come home and plant them. :) it's probably one of the oldest sources of almonds in the world, as the tree is a couple THOUSAND years old.. lol just don't get caught!!

I was just being silly. lol I think everything has some kind of contamination, unless you are fortunate enough to be able to grow your own. :/ So if you want almonds, eat 'em, girlie!

The ones imported from Spain labeled as "raw" generally are not pasteurized. The law only applies to almonds grown in this country.

I eat the flash-pasteurized almonds from Costco. They sprout, and soaked I seem to digest them just fine. It's all about the enzymes. I don't treat eating raw as a religious obsession.:D
