Im using these for homemade almond milk. Im not sure how I feel about the taste. Its okay. Ive never had homemade almond milk before though. The sad thing is these cannot be eaten raw. The taste just isn't what I would expect for an almond. Its raw and unpasteurized so I guess its what I ordered. I'll just use them for almond milk and add maple syrup so it is a little more palatable. I want to give them 3 stars but I think its unfair because like I said, Im unfamiliar with the taste and some people may think its normal.
