that stinks :-( so what do you use now?
rAWngish teechr- Did you have to spend over $100? I tried ordering from them earlier this week because they seemed like a reliable source but they e-mailed me back they have a min. of $100. I cannot spend that much on almonds and would like to try them first before spending that much anyway! But thanks for the tip :)
If these almonds I’m buying really aren’t raw I might as well just buy cheaper ones from the bulk isle at the grocery store where I don’t have to pay shipping and handling either!
I need the almonds for almond milk cuz I cannot live without my raw cereal. I am allergic to way too many things and would go crazy without it! This almond thing is annoying :-/
Zoe- Would freezing make them not sprout? RawfromtheFarm states their almonds are frozen to kill insects but not heated in any way. I e-mailed them and they said:
“All of our almonds have not been heat treated in any way. We always get them the bulk up and get a little nub on the end, which is the description that sprouting charts give for almonds. We have had some customers say they have grown a tail as well after a few days. We haven’t tried that ourselves.”
Maybe I should try sprouting them again since I still have a small amount left. What should they look like after 1 day of sprouting?
Trader Joe’s has organic raw Valencia almonds imported from Spain, and they sprouted for me. However, the non-organic California grown almonds from there do not sprout. Even TJ’s raw cashews sprout. :)
Yep, I let them soak for 3 hours with no intention of sprouting them, and they literally grew tails!
The only downside is TJ’s raw cashews aren’t organic. :(
RawKid-Yes the cashews grew tails. I didn’t let the almonds go long enough to grow big tails since I read somewhere not to. But the end was swollen, and when I broke them open, there was a tail like thing going down the middle and just about coming out the end.
There were so many comments, that I kind of missed one about pine nuts. Used to be able to get them in the shell, no longer available. Never tried to sprout them shelled. Anyone else? Also what was that website you all were talking about ordering raw nuts from?
Thank you.
hey Emlee ! I know it has been long time from your last post, please tell me did you like almonds from /ftp.realrawfood.zenutech.com.?. Are they able to sprout ? I'm new on raw food and i would like to buy truly raw almonds,or maybe do you have another suggestions?
I've been freezing my almonds. Will they still sprout? If so, for how long should I soak them ideally?
Same question for cashews.
And can I then refreeze the nuts after they sprout?
And it's only raw nuts that will sprout, yes?
