No More Raw Almonds

 

California Almond Board To Cook All AlmondsThe

California Almond Board has decided to pasteurize all almonds. Needless

to say I'm not for this policy as this process will in effect cook the

almonds and therefore make them less than ideal. This new policy will

eliminate almonds from the diet of raw foodists. At least California

grown almonds which are the world's largets supply of almonds.Here's an email sent from Living Tree Community FoodsAlmond pasteurization protestDear Friend,TheCalifornia Almond Board has passed a mandatory almond pasteurization order onFriday, March 30th.
