Raw Unpasteurized Organic Almonds (Sproutable), 2 lbs

Very good quality

Unbelievable for making tasty almond milk. These are unpasteurized as all USA almonds must be by law, so they come from Spain and are a little smaller than our CA almonds being Valencia almonds., After soaking for about 12 hours in filtered water 1 cup swells (sprouts) to become 1 1/2 cups of almond goodness and are tehn easy to slip the almond shells off - important to remove any bitter taste. If they are hard to remove, just throw some more filtered water over them again for a while. Then squeeze them out in a bag (I use the Bigger Better Nut Milk Bag which is so much better than anything smaller and a good valiue, see my review of that here on Amazon. REALLY squeezew them to get all the delicious almond milk juice out of them. You'll find the almond milk to be creamier, smelling and tasting of almonds so much more than anything store bought (which , when you look at the ingredients are apparently very little almonds and a lot of additives. You can sweeten to your liking or not, add salt or not to enhance the flavor, etc. . Its up to YOU! ANd remaining in the bag - don't throw it out! - is the finest most delicious base for almond butter (SO expensive these days). Simply add to the ground almonds (after drying in a slow oven ) your small amount of honey and coconut or vegetable oil to make a good consistency and you'll have the finest almond butter ever! This is so special I save it for drinking straight or mixed with regular cow's milk, and use store bought "almond" milk for smoothies where I wont miss the flavor as much. It is expensive initially, but cup for cup 1 cup almonds yields over a quart of almond milk and almond butter to boot, it probably works out the same all told. Will buy again and again. GREAT stuff!

Mostly good. There were a few bitter almonds. Update: the seller responded. Great customer service! Raising my review from 2 to 4 stars. I won’t hesitate to buy from them again.

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 to do, just keeping them moist. There are lots of online tutorials on sprouting nuts.

Everything that I have purchased from Terrasoul on Amazon has been fresh, tasty, healthy, in-stock, and delivered on time...almonds, cashews, and cacao powder. I have tried others, and now look no further. I drink at least 2 smoothies a day, and make sure to never run out of my fabulous Terrasoul products. I soak and dehydrate my nuts, and they keep very well. Makes for very tasty home made almond and cashew milk. The cacao is slightly less bitter than other brands that I have tried, and almost creamy when I lick it off of my finger. The point in mentioning all of the Terrasoul products that I keep in my cabinets is because they are all high quality, fair priced, and Terrasoul has become a brand that I trust without question. I look forward to putting more of their products in my daily rotation once my stock of other brands is depleted. Also, these almonds are raw and organic from Spain, and have not been irradiated. Good stuff.

No good. Flat, wrinkled, some are soft, tasteless. Not from the US and expensive. Won’t buy again. I am updating this review, because the company cares and issued a refund—which was not available through Amazon. I am willing to try these again sometime.
