Organic, Raw, Unpasteurized Almonds from Terrasoul Superfoods

Chelsea : I make homemade almond milk for our household every couple days. I have been using a different brand of almonds available on Amazon for about a year now but they weren't available when I went to repurchase so I bought these so we'd have something. They are about twice as expensive as the almonds I usually buy but the milk is noticeable creamier with a very prominent almond flavor. Delicious but I don't think I'll buy all the time because of the price.

RockyRoad: I caught these when Amazon was having a promotion, which was quite a lucky break. Not because of the promo, but because these are incredibly delicious and fresh!
Like a lot of people, I believe raw almonds are a nutritional powerhouse. They also add much needed protein to my diet.
They might be more expensive than the grocery store brand, but there's no comparison in terms of taste. They taste cleaner and fresher.
Pasteurization can kill some of the good stuff due to the high heat. Because it also kills some of the bad stuff that can possibly be on food items, it remains as an industry standard in the United States.
These nuts are truly raw, with all the benefits, because they are from Spain. Some of the best varieties come from Spain and Italy. As with any natural product, there will be some variation based on weather conditions. I'm always delighted to get an almond or two in the bag that might be on the bitter side. They are delicious in the same way that bitter chocolate is delicious. Please know that they aren't spoiled, it's just a variation.

Best of all, unlike most almonds, these are sproutable, unlocking even more nutrients. It's easy...

Faith: First, let me comment on the quality of these. I soaked the almonds, and dehydrated them to remove any so-called anti-nutrients. The nuts had a very unappealing quality to them, almost as if they were shriveled up on the inside. Taste was OK, but not great, and not bad.

Now, moving on, I was leary of these almonds being that they are imported from Spain, thereby having zero regulations as to the quality and type of product it is. My test was to eat 1, and see how I feel. I noticed a mild headache, but I thought it might be something else.

I figured I'll try again, so I ate a maybe 2 or 3 more. Mild symptoms again like a tummy ache, and slight headache but I couldn't be for sure that it was these. I should have listened to my gut instinct and stopped here.

Then I decided that surely they must be fine, so I proceeded to make almond butter out of them. I probably only ate the equivalent of 6-8 nuts, ground up. After 30 minutes, a terrible headache came upon me. Then, my heart started pounding and racing. I felt a weird queasy sensation. I started to feel sickly, like something wasn't right.

After about an hour, I felt bad enough and...

NylonOxygen: When coming across these after Amazon cancelled my subscription for another brand, I found a few negative reviews. I'm sure people had their reasons, but I have to say, these almonds are the best for making my almond milk. I've been making my own almond milk for years. I can't stand any of the commercially-available almond milk brands. Taste like sugary water to me. So I started making my own. I don't really save any money doing it - almonds are expensive, especially organic ones, an they've shot up in price since California's water crisis. But it's worth it to me. Let me describe these first by telling you what you WON'T get. You won't get almonds that you can put in a fancy nut bowl with your beautiful hazelnuts, pistachios, and brazil nuts. You won't get almonds that you'd serve to a guest for snacking. They're a bit unattractive - some look shriveled, and there are a lot of broken pieces in the bag. But rather than reviewing based on appearance, I decided to give them a try and review on results. These almonds are for processing. They are meant to be ground up for almond milk, almond meal/flour, etc. So just understand that this is what they're for.
