Raw Sprouted Organic California Almonds-Unsalted Family Recipe Crispy

Raw sprouted unsalted certified organic California almonds. Soaked in filtered water, low temperature dried below 105F to preserve delicate vitamins and enzymes. Always Fresh. Date bagged and best by on each bag. We have always used organic Italian almonds because they are unpasteurized, but the crop failed. We decided to switch to California certified organic. The flavor is much better without the hard and bitter almonds one finds in the Italian and Spanish crop. The downside is that the USDA requires pasteurization but allows them to be called raw because they are lightly steam pasteurized which hits only the outside of the nut while the inside remains fresh. The good news is that we have tested these almonds ourselves and found 100% germination! They are alive. The flavor is excellent and we are very happy to have a more local source of a living food. Kept in ideal conditions, bagged in USA-made foil bags with oxygen removed for awesome taste and no rancidity and shipped straight f
