Guest guest Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 So, may I make a suggestion to everyone on this list: Whenever you get almonds, take some out and see if you can sprout them. Then send your results to the Almond Board of California: ask them why the almonds won't sprout. Raw almonds sprout. They say that their heating of the almonds won't change anything about the almonds. Send a copy of your results to the FDA. Perhaps we could create a nuisance factor by doing this every time we get almonds.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 That sounds like a great idea to me. Thank you for posting that idea. Jerry In a message dated 04/14/2007 8:25:12 A.M.

When I started reading the 's information I was informed that what I liked were 'soaks' not true sprouts at all. The little pointy extension of the sharp end of the almond apparently is not a root. So the pasteurization edict, while repugnant to me does not affect the taste I like. Just sharing my confusion. -Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Just to update the previous post on almonds sources, bulknaturalalmonds answered my question--the almonds are completely untreated/unheated. Their price for 50 pounds is $5.27 a pound, free shipping. I just ordered some carmel variety from california-almonds ($6.29/lb). They do " flash pasteurize " them but claim the nut remains raw and will sprout, so I will see. The good thing is that I can order only 10 pounds to see what I think. -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 This may have already been covered...but, how long will Almonds keep in the freezer?

When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses; only results.
