are a whole food with all of their healthy fats, nutrition and enzymes intact. One of the most
versatile super foods on the market, almonds can be used to make non-dairy milks, creams,
cheeses or eaten on their own as a healthy snack.

The taste of the almond milk from these almonds is nothing short of amazing. The milk has a luscious, rich, smooth flavor, and it actually tastes "almondy" - I can't really explain it any other way. The product literature on the back of the package states that these are Spanish almonds, grown for their higher oil content. They actually do taste different (and better) than the almonds I'm used to.
So a recommendation for preparation: I always soak my almonds overnight when making almond milk and rinse them several times before processing. It seems like with these almonds, it's even more important than others I've used. They are a bit "dusty" in the package - another reason they're probably not the best for snacking or presentation. Just rinse them before using for almond milk like you would any other almond. To reiterate - don't buy these for making trail mix, snacking by themselves, or anywhere you want pristine-looking almonds. Buy another product if you want almonds for that purpose.
Here's my recipe:
Makes 1.5 to 2 litres. Your results may vary. If you are used to drinking grocery store almond milk, and you're ok with a more watered-down flavor, then you can use more water and stretch this recipe a bit and get about 2 litres total.
Water (about 1 - 2 litres)
10 oz almonds
1/8 cup golden flax seeds
1/8 cup hemp hearts
1 TBSP chia seeds
1/4 tsp sea salt (more or less to taste)
1 packet of white stevia (more or less to taste, or use sweetener of your choice. Sugar will promote fermentation though)
Equipment:
A high speed blender (Vitamix is good here. Sorry, a cheap $20 blender won't work well. Buy a refurb variable-speed Viatmix, you won't be sorry)
A very, very, fine mesh nylon filter bag (I got mine at a local homebrew store. It's a hop strainer bag for brewing beer. A "nut milk bag" might be too coarse for this)
A 2qt or 1 gallon pitcher
A kitchen thermometer if you intend to pasteurize the almond milk (I do this, it makes the almond milk last 1-2 weeks. If you will drink it up within a few days, you don't need to do this)
Sanitizer, such as StarSan. You should sanitize the pitcher and the almond milk bag, as well as whatever you plan to store the almond milk in. I store it in 3 half-litre bottles.
...and a bit of time
The flax, hemp, and chia seeds are for flavor and texture. They make the milk creamier, more like whole dairy milk. You can leave them out if you're more of an almond purist.
Fill a pint canning jar to the 10 oz mark with dry almonds. Rinse them in the jar until the water runs clear. Then put a lid on the jar and leave on the counter if you'll make the almond milk within 8-10 hours, or put in the fridge if it'll be longer.
When you're ready, add the 3 different seeds to the Vitamix. Make sure the blender is completely dry. Mill the seeds. Since these seeds contain a lot of oils, they'll probably clump in the bottom before they're finely ground. Not a big deal. Add about a litre of water to the blender carafe and blend on high until the clumps dissolve. At this point, add the salt and stevia. Rinse your almonds one last time, and add those to the blender as well. Don't add the rinse water. Blend on high. This is where you decide if you want to pasteurize the almond milk or not. I pasteurize the almond milk in the blender itself, using the friction energy as the milk is blending. I blend until the mixture reaches 160 degrees F. It usually takes about 5 minutes of blending on high to get to 160. Put the nylon filter bag into the pitcher after sanitizing both with sanitizer. Then pour the mixture into the filter bag. This is the most time-consuming step - it takes a long time for that mixture to pass through the filter bag. It's also very hot and can burn you, so be careful. You can use kitchen tongs to help squeeze the bag if the mixture is too hot to touch. You want to get most of the liquid out of the filter bag, leaving the pulp in the bag and the liquid in the pitcher. You don't need to get all of the liquid out just yet. You want to end up with anywhere from 1.5 to 2 litres of finished almond milk. When I make it, I make 1.5 and end up with a very rich flavorful almond milk. But you can use more water to stretch the recipe - it just won't be as rich. So add a bit more water to the filter bag and squeeze it through the bag, and repeat until you have the desired volume of almond milk. At this point, you can clean out the blender, transfer the almond milk back to it, and give it a final whirl if you like. I often forget to add the salt and stevia before I filter out the pulp, so this is an opportunity to add it and blend it in if you forgot. Enjoy. It's a bit laborious, but worth it!
Almost forgot - save the pulp if you wish. I dehydrate mine and store the flat dehydrated chunks of pulp in a freezer bag. When I'm ready to use the almond flour for a recipe, I put a bunch of the chunks in the Vitamix and re-mill them into fine flour. Don't mill the flour until you're ready to use it. The remaining oils in the flour permeate a freezer bag and make the outside very sticky. If you don't wish to save it, COMPOST IT!!
Cheers!
Now, moving on, I was leary of these almonds being that they are imported from Spain, thereby having zero regulations as to the quality and type of product it is. My test was to eat 1, and see how I feel. I noticed a mild headache, but I thought it might be something else.
I figured I'll try again, so I ate a maybe 2 or 3 more. Mild symptoms again like a tummy ache, and slight headache but I couldn't be for sure that it was these. I should have listened to my gut instinct and stopped here.
Then I decided that surely they must be fine, so I proceeded to make almond butter out of them. I probably only ate the equivalent of 6-8 nuts, ground up. After 30 minutes, a terrible headache came upon me. Then, my heart started pounding and racing. I felt a weird queasy sensation. I started to feel sickly, like something wasn't right.
After about an hour, I felt bad enough and threw up what little I ate. After that, the headache and brain fog lasted 6 more hours, slowly subsiding, before it finally ended.
There is no doubt that I consumed bitter, toxic almonds. I know it was due to these almonds because I had eaten nothing that day except a few chips, and these almonds, after fasting almost 18 hours.
Perhaps maybe only 1 out of 10, or who knows, is of the Bitter Almond variety. Now, none of the almonds I ate tasted bad, probably because I only ate a little bit ground up with non-bitter almonds. But I would never want to experience that again.
This company is either 1) knowingly importing toxic Bitter Almonds and selling them as Sweet Almonds 2) shadily mixing bitter almonds with sweet almonds in order to cut the product and maximize profits, since bitter almonds are mostly trash and cannot be sold very many places, or 3) completely negligent in selling a product that is contaminated with Bitter Almonds and continues to be willfully negligent after multiple reports.
There are at least 15 other complaints on here of people getting sick, headaches, tasting nasty bitterness, or a chemical taste in their mouth. One person said they ended up in the Emergency Room with symptoms of food poisoning, which can be similar to Cyanide toxicity from eating bitter almonds. Another person said they had the same type of heart pounding that I did.
I recommend you DO NOT buy any almonds imported from anywhere, and strictly purchase USA grown almonds as that is the only real way to ensure you don't buy bitter toxic almonds, since food imports are not subject to ANY local, state, or federal regulations regarding growing standards, handling, or ensuring they are what they say they are: sweet almonds. Bitter almonds cannot be grown and sold as food in the USA.
Eating these almonds is a risk. It could go very badly if a small child, elderly person, or person with a compromised immune system ate too many of these.
I'm considering pursuing legal action against this company, Terrasoul, as they have caused harm not only to me, but many other people, and they should not continue to profit from this commercial activity which is clearly endangering people. I do not want to hear of some poor kid dying because he ate a bunch of these almonds. But if someone like me, with a strong, healthy, vibrant immune system could contract such symptoms as I did from eating only a small handful of these, I worry for any kids who might eat these.
While I do not have a laboratory statement to confirm my claims and suspicions, my experience cross-referenced with the other experiences shared here on Amazon lead me to believe this product either is, or is contaminated with, Toxic Bitter Almonds, and should be removed from sale immediately from the Amazon Platform.
