Almonds in bulk?

[Elfreako]

Hi everyone,

So almonds play big role in my diet. The thing is they are so expensive! Does anyone know where I can buy them in bulk for cheap?

Thanks

Almonds are nice, but IMHO walnuts are at least as nice and healthy. Got two trees here at the back, can help you with a few Kgs at 120 rands per Kg. Cleaned and packed in large tins. Just PM me.

Sorry I can't give better directions, but I buy almonds (roasted or not) in 1kg packs from the greengrocer next to Groenkloof Butchery in Lynwood.

Don't forget to activate your almonds

Ok, you need to explain to us non-almond-activating plebs ..

Also, Elfreako if you don't mind elaborating how you utilise almonds in your diet?

I think he eats them

You soak the nuts overnight to remove something (edit: phytic acid?) which prevents the nut from being digested properly. Ideally you'd soak, then dry in a dehydrator again and store.

I wasn't going to suggest anything. I was replying to the walnuts. Anyway. There's not really such a thing as cheap almonds these days. Komati foods quality is nice but is no cheaper than anywhere else.

 

[freeek]

Ah thanks. Will try Komati foods
