I have been on a strict no sugar or processed foods detox program, I needed raw almonds, & these almonds were a big help during a very hard detox! Some raw nuts i tried tasted rubbery, that's from moisture in them from not being roasted. These almonds were crunchy & somewhat chewy, they taste like almonds...i would buy them again!! They were much needed to help me complete the detox & these almonds were exactly what I needed! 5 Stars! Thx! GOD bless!
