Raw almonds are good for you. Invest in a food scale to keep your calories in check though.

I eat an oz of almonds pretty much every day.

We get bulk raw, but repackage them into servings. I bit cheaper that way.

I eat 7 at 45 cal or 15 at 90 for a snack. No more. And not every day.

Almonds my craving sin :embarassed:
They have tons of qualities we cannot describe. They have for nut an interesting properties others don't have ratio fat/proteins : 2:1
which is awesome.
You need if you buy them raw to put them in natural water during 24-48 hours (soaking)
Soaking turns the beta starch (starch in sees) which is hard to digest into alpha-starch, much more easy to digest.
Moreover, soaking your almonds also eliminates the non digestive enzymes you'd find in nuts.

The only thing though is the soaking time have to be proper due precious minerals leaching out into the soak water.
So you need to soak just long enough for the almonds to soften.

The soaked almonds are alive and though they won't reach their most nutritious value, enven if they are still very nutritious - plus they are already privated from their enzyme inhibitors (a very good thing) so they'll digest themselves

Almonds are one of Mother Nature's best snacks to have:
Contains fiber, as well as Potassium, which helps prevent Charley Horses/Leg Cramps.
Ideal for people who hate to eat Bananas (like me) & lack Potassium...

Almond milk is also good. Especially with some rum or vodka

I always have a ziploc of 10-15 almonds in my purse, for a protien snack.
