Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I just have to ask, what are you trying to prepare them for? I don't think you need to do any thing to raw almonds, just eat them. I have soaked them to make them into almond milk, I have ground them for almond flour, other than those to things, I just eat them raw. I love them raw!!

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Judy - order from Nora Lenz of www.rawschool.com or from the RawVegan Source.com Nora does all the footwork of finding truly raw almonds. Both of them ship. (Sorry Nora, I can't remember your website for ordering nuts.) Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Nora offers them seasonally, so check with her. She may have some. The unpasteurized almonds that the Raw Vegan Source sells are the Spanish almonds. The California almonds they offer may not be truly raw.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hi Jeff, Thanks for mentioning us at Raw Vegan Source. We do have the raw Spanish almonds as well as unpasteurized organic almonds that in the past we had a person pick up at the farm and as of yesterday I just got back from a California road trip with hundreds of pounds of 3 different kinds of raw, organic almonds (as well as pistachios, macadamias, and walnuts) from 4 different farms that I visited personally and met the farmer.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 > raw cashews are a gel in > the center of a toxic pod. That to go from gel to solid is not possible > without high heat. maybe i can help if no one else has answered this by now. cashews nuts are an external seed/nut attached below a very juicy, slightly stringent pear shaped fruit. the nut we eat is inside a thin shell which is coated with a sticky substance, call it a clear tar, which is covered by another outer shell. the locals get the nutmeat out of the shells by roasting them over a fire in a screen cage so you don't get nailed if the shell explodes, you still hafta watch out for the tar. i don't know if the tar is toxic but it's nothing you would want to eat, it's stings the mouth. i'm curious how the ''raw'' cashews are extracted, i can't imagine water doing anything to the tar, soap does nothing to it. my 1st year here, i saved a bag of nuts and dried them only to throw them away latter cuz it's was just too much trouble to get them out raw. many people with cashew trees bag the nutmeats and put them on a table alongside the road to sell. i tried a bag and they can't compare to what you get in the states, they also have a smoky flavor. the cashew trees are only about 25' max height and like it hot and dry. it's summer here now and very dry and it's cashew season. i seldom see the fruits in the mercados, maybe cuz they're so easily smashed. i take a fruit and crush it between my hands over a bowl, to get the juice. the fruit is a yellow blush and the pulp is an off white. the nuts on the tree dropped fruits readily sprout under the trees but i've never thot to try them, maybe this year. we have another cashew variety that grows where its cooler and it's nut is inside the fruit and i don't know that the nut is eaten. the fruit is a little sweeter and the trees get huge. the fruit's flesh is white/white and the skin is apple read. try searching google images for a foto of the fruit. norm : ))~ ~~~ interesting place, this panamá ~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Think of poison ivy, or poison sumac. It is in the same plant family as the sumac.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Maybe Norm ought to tell us how to go out into Puget Sound and harvest it ourselves. It might also be a business opportunity for somebody, now that Norm isn't doing it. Personally, I don't like eating kelp, but maybe there is another use for the stuff. Bullwhips, maybe?
