Really? I discovered I like the taste of raw almonds better than the roasted kind. Well, to each her own, I guess. :p

I'm willing to bet that raw almonds are better nutritionally than roasted almonds, but you can't go wrong with almonds even when they're roasted because of how nutritious they are to begin with.

currently ive just purchased the raw 80/10/10 book...i perhaps have a feeling this book will tell me not to eat them roasted tho.. lol
