I must admit, I’m pretty much always on the hunt for the newest and tastiest raw snack to try. While there is a lot out there these days as raw food becomes ever more popular, many of these snacky type foods are hit or miss. Nothing is more disappointing than spending extra money for a raw food treat and ending up with something that tastes bland, stale, or otherwise funky.  I’m always happy to get suggestions from others about what’s tried and true so I don’t end up wasting my money on something that just doesn’t taste good. So today I am reaching out and introducing all of you lovely people to a definite raw food “hit”. Please say hello to Almo, the freeze dried mineral enhanced truly raw organically grown almond (now that's a mouthful - literally!) He’s pretty cute you’ll have to admit. I haven’t been this excited about a bag of almonds in a long time. They have honestly become one of my favorite raw vegan “convenience” foods. And they come to us from the same creative minds who brought the beyond genius creation rawtella into the world, so how can you possibly go wrong. ;)

These freeze dried mineral enhanced almonds are 100% healthy and at the same time really enjoyable and fun to eat. Gone are the days when you have to sacrifice convenience for health. We are headed into a new age now! These almonds are grown organically, have never been heated, are soaked and then sprouted, enhanced with pure ocean minerals, and are THEN freeze dried to lock in all of that goodness, keep them super fresh, and give them an amazingly unique flavor and texture. They are very creamy yet lightweight, have a delightfully crisp texture, and pack a really defined almond flavor almost like they’ve had almond extract added. However there are absolutely no flavor additives in these nuts, so that delicious almond flavor is simply due to the fact that they are so fresh. Many nuts out there are processed and stored in a way which renders their volatile oils rancid, and that is one of my biggest pet peeves with nut mixes. I can taste a rancid nut a mile away! I am happy to report that not a single almond in my bag tasted rancid or “off” in any way. I’m also really happy about the fact that these nuts don’t leave me feeling weighed down and tired after eating a few handfuls. This can be credited to the fact that they are sprouted which de-activates any enzyme inhibitors and frees up the nutrients for easy digestion.
