RAW ALMONDS
Posted by: joewood ()

I am going to be buying some raw almonds today at whole foods. I heard from someone that you could / should soak them before you eat them. I have eaten them without soaking but do they taste better if soaked.

Thanks

Hi Joe,
A lot of people like to soak them and then dehydrate them so they get their crunch back. It's a bit of a hassle, but the soaking disengages the enzyme inhibitors.

Be careful, if it is california almonds they aren't really raw. All almonds from california have been pasteurized, yet still carry a "raw" label.

Hi,

actually, whole foods raw almonds now have "heat treated" on the packet. Which is really nice (other than I don't want "heat treated" almonds!) of them to accurate in describing their product.

The almonds I buy at whole foods are not in packets. You bag your own. I guess I'll have to ask when I go tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone for their help.
