We need to find out *what* Maranatha/Hain/Celestial's pasteurization process is. Is it the type that preserves the enzymes (see BettBee's link below) or are they autoclave sterilized or gassed?

do you need vitamin d3 ?

@BettBee Also these folks have a method of pasteurization that effects only the surface of the nut. It can still be sprouted.

These farms (listed below) purport to sell raw organic almonds direct to consumers. I'd appreciate a) feedback if you know of these farms and b) other links as well. Have Green Star juicer and a VitaMix is on its way to me, so will make own darn almond butter, no bumming out necessary!

Want some Vitamin D? Sit in the damn sun without sunblock! And D2 comes from mushrooms! So eat 'em and just chill. We need to be balanced and not obsess about nutrition.

Bummer Award to America. We are supposedly smart people. Smart people don't design products or technologies that harm themselves. Its really a shame that we humans could be so evil.

I seem to recall legislation that passed forcing all raw almonds sold in this country to be pasteurized. I think it was some bogus reason (like 2 cases of e coli or something) which drove this legislation. Maybe Maranatha was forced to the use raw almonds that were available to them. Is there a way to get raw almonds that are not pasteurized, or is that legislation for the whole US?
