[Guest guest]

buying maranatha brand bc its tested free of mold but i would like make

my own with soaked/dryed nuts. i read somewhere recently that this

kills the mold. anyone have more info on this? is it true?

thanks, jill

Even if the mold is dead there is a risk because I think it's like

botulism - the toxin that is a byproduct of the mold is what makes it

dangerous. I think there is a way to detect it tho, using a blacklight

or something similar.
