Raw almonds? What can I use them for?

I eat them just like that, love them raw!

Roast them then dice some. Get some dark chocolate and melt it down mix them and then make little bite size balls. You now have a nice treat that you can share with coworkers or random MFP members who enjoy chocolate and almonds together..

double post

Almonds sold to the public are supposed to be pasteurized, either by steam or have chemicals used on them. Eating fewer chemicals is one reason why I bought them. I just don't want to get sick from eating them either.

ah, I see - these are right off the tree.

Thanks for seeing my post before I edited it - I thought I double posted! ooops... brb gonna go learn how to internet...

6lbs might last a week in my house my kids love them raw or roasted and I use them to bake. Raw almonds are great for several things, you must keep them fresh they will go bad in a month or two you can keep them in the freezer for up to six months. As said before you can eat them raw or roasted. I would recommend freezing in two lb bags and then use one bag at a time. if you are having and almond thing then six lbs is a piece of cake..no pun intended to use. grind half and start baking they combined well with golden flax and chocolate chips to make cookies pancake and yes glorious high fiber lower glycemic (for the most part) Pizza Dough yes it taste good... so have pizza one night, chocolate chip cookies that have about 6-to 8 carbs. top yogurt roast some eat some raw they are great for controlling blood sugar and pack in the nutrients as well as healthy fat. 23 almonds is only 15 carbs so that is one carbohydrate selection if you are diabetic. Prevention.com , Web MD both have recipes for baked goods made with almond meal...(almond flour)

In case anyone wants the recipe, BIG party hit too

Flourless chocolate cake recipes use almond meal so grind some up for it or there is an orange cake with almond meal too where you boil whole oranges the process skin and all. Sounds odd but very yum!

I buy the large bags of roasted almonds at Sam's Club. They freeze beautifully. I have a few every day for a healthy, filling snack. Not sure, but I would think that raw would freeze well, also. Why not try freezing a handful overnight, then try roasting them and see how they turn out? If you can freeze them, you won't have to worry about using them up in a hurry.

Oh yes! I forgot to say this. I always keep mine in the freezer but they are roasted ones and you can eat them straight from the freezer and can't tell they are frozen. They taste like they were just freshly roasted everytime!
