Sad that we can no longer get TRULY raw almonds, isn't it? I also ordered some

that were marketed as raw, and they wouldn't sprout, so I knew they had been

either iradiated or pasteurized. Glad you found a decent sub for dairy!

Sunflower and pumpkin seeds make a lovely milk too!

I couldn't LIVE without my Vitamix! Have you tried making flour from any of the

nuts or grains? I just processed 40 pounds of organic brown rice into

flour-took less than 5 minutes in the Vitamix, and I am now making my daily rice

milk and rice crackers. If anyone is looking to buy a Vitamix (or Blentec),

email me at berrywell@... I have a contact that can get you free

shipping and a payment plan (no credit check)!!

You can see a video of both the flour making process and my rice cracker recipe

(done in a crockpot) at http://www.mymealmasters.com in the " video " link

Pam, are you saying that the almond pasteurization law has changed? Because I

have not heard that and have been unable to source any truly raw almonds.

That was my understanding, so the " pastuerized by law (since repealed, thank

goodness) " line was what confused me since I have no idea what it is

Review of the internet shows that the latest comment was Feb of this year

and the Fed judge upheld the FDA <sigh> - however, these people apparently

have unpasteurized raw almonds for sale ­ don't know where they got them.

Doesn't look like this has gone to the supreme court yet.

I do soak the almonds before I eat them as soaking eliminates the

anti-digestive enzyme normally found in nuts.They only grow a small

bud, that's about it. I do not expect they will sprout.

As per Val Archer, " Out of all the nuts and seeds, only sunflower and

unhulled sesame will grow little roots if you sprout them (after

soaking). So only they have living enzymes to activate. "

Many seeds and nuts are " sprouted " by just soaking them to plump them up, but

true raw almonds will get a small tail going. I used to make a delicious

sprouted almond bread, but haven't been able to find the right raw almonds in

years now, which is a shame.

If one wanted almond seeds to grow an almond tree, I don't think they could

irradiate it or heat it.  So they would have to be raw.  However, don't know

if they would put chemicals on them to aid their growth.  I saw something on

line about almonds and they said to soak as the shells had to come off them.  

I have no idea as I've never tried to sprout them.  Only tried on a few seeds.

This was actually one of the arguments raised in hopes of getting the idea of

iradiating and pasteurizing put to rest-the fact that eventually there would be

no raw seeds to plant-but it fell on deaf ears, and the bill was passed. Now

with the decline of honey bees, which are essential to pollinating crops such as

almond groves, there is even more concern that eventually the species will die

out, or only be available as a genetically modified product. HUGE concern to

those of us wanting to stay clear of GMO foods, but of little concern to the FDA

and USDA, clearly.

Did  you use the dry part of the Vitamix?  I had one but it got put into

storage when we moved and I think it was sold off cheaply just to close out the

storage shed.  Wish I did have  it though the whole time I had it, I didn't

use it.  I still have my vitamix though, just not the dry part.  I can't find

the little plastic thing that goes in the middle of the lid, but I have the push

down paddle thing that fills up the hole.  I used it for smoothies mostly.  I

never made soup in it either.  I also don't know where my cook books for the

vitamix are either.  Pitts.

I do use the dry container for grinding grains, it operates the opposite of what

the wet container does, but you can still get a decent grind in the wet

container, but it might cloud your container if you use hard grains, such as

rice. You should be able to manage just fine using the tamper in the hole where

the plastic was, but if you need to order any replacement parts (or a dry

container) email me and I will give you my contact's information.

It is fantastic that you can make nut milk.  Never heard of cashew milk but

have of almond milk.  It is in the stores.  I switched to Omega 3 milk from

Smart Balance but sure is expensive.  Now husband is not to have even that. 

No dairy products.  he can drink a bit of non-dairy creamer but only certain

ones that don't have potassium added.  He can't have milk either.  I love

cashews.  If nuts were edible, I'd eat them.  I eat almonds, too, but prefer

cashews except when the almonds are covered in chocolate.  I have some bad

habits, but they taste good.

What do you do with their milk in the winter?  Might be easier to feed them a

different food.

If they still have calves nursing (usually don't in the winter), then they take

care of it. The family that tends my cows for me take care of the rest. With

the life long dairy allergy I have had, I find it a good idea to give my body a

rest from it during that time anyway, and they need the types of grains that I

can't have...corn, wheat, etc. It works out fine-I have plenty during the

summer and spring that I use for homemade cheeses and things that I can freeze,

I just don't drink the fresh milk during the winter.

but have of almond milk. It is in the stores. I switched to Omega 3 milk

from Smart Balance but sure is expensive. Now husband is not to have even

that. No dairy products. he can drink a bit of non-dairy creamer but only

certain ones that don't have potassium added. He can't have milk either. I

love cashews. If nuts were edible, I'd eat them. I eat almonds, too, but

prefer cashews except when the almonds are covered in chocolate. I have some

bad habits, but they taste good.
