According to my data, the almond processors in California are all geared up or gearing up to begin the pasturization process on Sept. 1st. This is when the new almond crop will be harvested. As I understand it, the process is a fast heat process up to about 150 degrees. They are saying that the almond will still sprout. I doubt it. I have heard nothing about an irradiation process. Are we talking the same thing here?

Have they started to irradiate almonds? It seems to me the ones I'm seeing in the stores are much darker skin color than I've ever noticed before. I don't know if this is a different variety or if it's something else. But they don't look like raw almonds to me. They say raw almonds. I assumed that you might know the answer to this question, so Iask. Thanks Melody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
