Ok I cant find raw organic almonds, and I have done some research and found out it is illegal now to not pastuerize almonds??? I found a couple of places to get them online, and found a small container at my health food store for an arm and a leg (but also read that sometimes those arent really raw) Wow confused, so how do you guys handle this, substitute or do you know a good place to get almonds? Almond milk is soooo good....

    Unfortunately, I haven't found a way around this. I try an alternative nut in recipes or if I'm in need of an almond fix I just use the pasteurized ones.

    These almonds are truly RAW and unpasteurized.

    Yeah, unfortunately in English, "raw" has two different meanings:

    there is the widely spread "raw" as in "we haven't put any salt or sugar coating and haven't roasted theses (- oh but yeah: we dried them at 75

    I get my almonds from a small farm in California. They are certified organic, real raw 2009 crop almonds, untreated. They are only $8.00 a pound and are delicious. Their number is 1-877-372-9688.

    You can still get unpasteurized CA almonds but it has to be from the growers' "farm store". Online is okay too from the farm stores. The pasteurization law in CA comes from the state almond board and it's designed to affect small growers to the benefit of the big growers like Blue Diamond. Bastards.

    Here are some sources for raw CA almonds:

    I'm so with everyone who has made it her/his mission to find raw almonds - ALL raw food in fact - from small local growers. Just my little way to stick it to Big Agriculture! LOL
