Roasted peanuts vs raw peanuts

[Guest guest]

Well, my daughter loves peanut butter. I understand peanuts are high in phytates

so I've been buying them raw, soaking, drying, and grinding into peanut butter.

I can't seem to find a bulk source of raw organic peanuts however, so I have 2

questions:

1-can raw organic peanuts be bought anywhere in bulk?

2-if not, what are the pros and cons of using roasted organic peanuts? I mean in

terms of phytates? Can I still get rid of the phytates by soaking/drying?

Thanks,

Tamara

there are several sources listed in the WAPF shopping guide. here's one

they sell a 10 lb. bag. If you want more just ask them if they have further

discounts for larger amounts than that.
