Guest guest Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hi there. I'm looking for folk in the DC/MD/VA area who want to go in on a group buy for raw almonds ($7.00/lb from CA). I just can't use a zillion pounds of almonds myself, but I'm happy to organize the buy. Please email me at ebmeyer if you're interested--we need to place the order next week. Here are the details, as taken from www.greensmoothiegirl.com (who organizes these buys all the time for her neighbors in Utah): California's almond trees have just been harvested, and it's a bumper crop! Almonds should be on anyone's top 10 list of most-nutritious foods. When you soak truly raw almonds, they sprout and are nutritionally worth 200% to 500% more: they double in fiber, and minerals, vitamins, and those all-important enzymes go through the roof! Enzyme inhibitors are neutralized and the almond's plant energy is released—for you to use. This item should be in everyone's pantry. Unfortunately, you can't get raw almonds from any retailer, unless they're $8-$12/lb. from Spain. Not Costco, not Good Earth, not Wild Oats, not Azure Standard. It's been illegal since Sept. `07 for California to sell raw almonds to retailers, and California produces 85% of the world's almonds—it's the state's largest agricultural export. For that you can thank the mandatory high-heat, flash- pasteurization law that the FDA is currently being sued for, by a coalition of almond growers. Some nuts are labeled raw (because no restrictions on this are imposed by the government), even though they are flash pasteurized and WILL NOT GERMINATE. I've found a way to now make my local group buy available nationwide! Wait till I tell you the price (wow)! With prices going up, this is a nice lull in the storm of rising food costs, an opportunity to stock up on an important food at a better price than you can find elsewhere. I'm getting them directly from a ranch in California under the loophole in the law wherein you can buy 100 lbs. per person, per day, directly from the rancher. I'm getting BIGGER, NICER ones (25-27 nuts per ounce rather than 30-32 per ounce) than we did in our local buy several months ago, for the SAME PRICE. (Can you tell I'm excited?) An order is 100 lbs. for $700 ($7/lb.). So, not only are these raw, but they are much less expensive than you could get them anywhere else! If that's more than you want, forward this email to friends and get someone to go in with you. The order comes in two 50# boxes, so it's easy to split with one other person. The nuts are FRESH OUT OF THE TREE and will be good at least a year (longer with refrigeration, cold storage, or freezing). If you want to organize a group buy and get your friends and family involved, shipping gets CHEAPER at 600 lbs. and REALLY CHEAP at 1,100 lbs. because that's when we can use a truck instead of UPS. You're welcome to cut and paste any part of this blog to send out to your nutrition- and food-storage-oriented friends to round up your order. You will be rewarded for your efforts AND bless other people's lives who will have one of nature's most perfect foods in their pantry against winter and emergency. If you don't want to organize a group buy, at least forward a link to today's blog to your friends, because this order closes Oct. 30—and I don't know if/when I will be able to do it again. I teach you how to germinate and preserve really yummy ALMOND SPROUTS as crunchy snacks that virtually any kid will eat, in Ch. 7 of my e- book, 12 Steps to Whole Foods: http://greensmoothiegirl.com/12-steps-to-whole-food-eating.html It's so easy to just soak them overnight and dehydrate. Almonds are not only wildly nutritious and a fantastic fresh source of Vitamin E and fiber, they're also lower in fat than all the other nuts. I'll post two recipes for using sprouted almonds, CURRY ALMONDS and ALMOND PATE (a sandwich/wrap filling) as free recipes on my blog tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Greetings Members: Time is growing very short to place your orders for the Raw,Organic, Almonds mentioned in the email below. There has to be more of you out there who are interested in purchasing them. Remember, the minimum order has to be 100 lbs. Check with your friends, family and/or co-workers to see if anyone is interested in either purchasing for themselves or willing to share a few pounds with you. Contact Erin at " ebmeyer " ASAP to place your order. Seven dollars per pound is a pretty good price, don't you think? Elaine , " minxtng " <ebmeyer wrote: > > Hi there.
