Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Raw Vegan Source (Tom and Suzan) has some Almonds from California, they look great . I have not tasted them but they are the big California ones. Catherine - Judy Pokras Tuesday, December 16, 2008 12:19 AM Re: questions raw PCC alnonds from spain Terri, I've tasted those raw almonds from Spain and I don't like the strong bitter flavor. I never bought them again. I'm feeling very raw-almond-deprived! There are so many recipes that require raw almonds. The Cornucopia Institute is suing the USDA but they need donations to continue, as they're a small non-profit. I would encourage anyone who has disposable income to help them with the lawsuit.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Thanks, Catherine. The problem is that it's hard to know if they're really raw, as the USDA allows pasteurized ones to be sold as " raw.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Talk to Tom, I think he said he gets them strait from the grower...he usually really checks things out being that he is eating the food himself.
