Good, but dangerous.
I enjoyed the taste of these almonds. However, when I contacted the company regarding their pasteurization method, they said that not only were all their "raw" almonds pasteurized, but that they usually use the PPO method. PPO is a highly toxic fumigation treatment with propylene oxide, which unbelievably, was used as a fuel by the American Motorcycle and National Hot Rod Associations....until they banned it, because of its known carcinogenic risks to human beings!
I don't even feel right throwing these almonds outside for the squirrels. Yuck. So disappointed.
