Hello everyone. I just wanted to add this, because I heard it was good (by many people), but have never tried it myself...

A lot of people say that "sprouted" almonds and other nuts are much easier to digest. Some places call it "Better than Roasted" (I believe). I'm sure there are many sellers to choose from, but I found this one and it reminded me of this discussion.

(above, these are the "BTR" ones that are sprouted, washed, dried, etc... that are supposed to be much easier to digest.)

(and these are a freeze dried version that has been "mineral enhanced" (in a good way) with ocean minerals.)

Both are all natural, organic,  gluten free and I believe they're vegan. I'm not a vegan, but I think I'm going to try them. I have trouble digesting things and nuts are an essential source of vitamins, minerals, protein and good fats that you don't get s lot of other places (especially vegetarians and vegans). I found them doing a searh for "an nuts be freeze f=dried?", because I wanted to find them for long term food storage. Unfortunately they're very hard to find. This is the only place I've found that sells freeze dried nuts of any kind. With them being so nutrient packed with essential nutrition that would be even more important in an emergency it makes my surprised that they're so hard to find.

Hope this helps.

(P.S. I don't have any affiliation with "live-livee" or the manufacturer of the nuts. They're just the ones I found immediately after finding this discussion... and the only place I found that sells freeze dried nuts of any kind. I don't know if there are any other companies that sell the freeze dried ones, but there are a lot of companies that sell the sprouted nuts of different varieties and qualities... and some are probably cheaper.)
