If you’ve been around Whole New Mom for awhile, you know that almonds are a bit of a favorite topic around here.
Truly, they are one of my family’s favorite foods.
So you can imagine how disappointed I was when I heard from a friend that:
- there are no truly raw almonds grown and sold in the U.S. in stores
- many other almonds sold in the U.S. are sprayed with engine fuel to pasteurize them.
Yes, I said engine fuel. You can read, “Is there Engine Fuel on Your Almonds?” for more icky information.
Anyway, once I found out about that it really is true that there is often Engine Fuel on almonds, I started on a hunt for raw almonds.
Really raw almonds.
I found some, but the catch is that you can only buy them direct from a farmer to get around the FDA. I’ve bought from one source for several years and we get them just after the almond harvest in the fall.
A lot of readers have been asking me about getting on the list for our fall raw almond buy, but others are not concerned about whether or not their almonds are raw.
They just don’t want them to have engine fuel on them 
.
Well, I now have a fabulous source for you if what you are looking for it almonds that don’t have PPO (engine fuel) on them!
And–a giveaway!
I contacted a number of almond companies to find one that would like to work with me and found Just Almonds.
They have a nice variety of almond products to choose from and I got to sample a good number of them.
And boy oh boy, are they good!
Now, I didn’t even know that there were different classifications of almonds, but there are. And there is a taste difference!!
- Their Non Pareil almonds are so sweet that you might be tempted to eat them right out of the bag (but you now you really should Soak and Dry Your Almonds, right? They taste even better that way! We ate them plain but I also made some Homemade Almond Butter from them. It was sooo good. My youngest noticed how much sweeter the almond butter tasted than our regular almond butter. And my husband asked what I had done differently to make the almond butter so sweet .
- Their Carmel almonds are not quite as sweet, but still superior to many other brands that I have tried.
- Their Blanched Almond Flour is WONDERFUL!! I made some grain free cut out / roll out cookies with it and they were amazing!! Somehow they even tasted almost lemony. They were gone super fast and my son was asking me again today if I’d make them again (I’ll post the recipe as soon as I can–promise!)
- They have a number of other almond products as well. All of them are wonderful (well, I only tried about 6, but those were all great !)
Just Almonds has graciously offered 5 pounds of Almonds or Almond Flour to one of my lucky readers.

I loved reading that almond flour is more nutritious than wheat flour!
I’d also like to try the sliced, natural almonds to top salads, muffins, etc.
I didn’t know that there aren’t any raw almonds sold in the US, wish they’d give us more options without their terrible chemicals!
Thanks for hosting this giveaway! I would love to try some almond flour from Just Almonds! I knew that Almonds are high in protein, but I didn’t know that they had over twice as much iron and Niacin than whole wheat flour! They are an awesome grain free baking option!
hey sweet lady – this is such a fun giveaway, but I typically don’t have giveaways link up. Feel free to submit another one of your amazing posts.

I didn’t even know you could use almond flour? How do you grind it? My mill says no oily things.
You need either a special mill (hoping to share about this soon) or grind in your blender carefully.
I didn’t realize how nutritious almond flour was.
I’d like to try some of their almond flour.
Thanks for the chance to enter this giveaway! I’m on a salt free diet and eat lots of raw almonds, I get them at a dutch market.

I didn’t know that almond flour would help stabilize blood sugar–nice!
I enjoyed seeing the charts that compare the nutrition of almond flour in comparison to white flour. Someone please tell me why anyone would want to keep tanking up on that stuff????
I didn’t know that there weren’t any “raw” almonds. What about the ones at Trader Joe’s that are labeled “Raw Sliced Almonds”?
They are not really raw. Unless they are from another country, they are for sure now raw. Thanks for reading!!
I would like to try the almond flour.
I love all things almond, but would love to try their blanched almond flour
I didn’t know almonds could be used in place of wheat flour. Sounds yummy.
I also did not know almond flour was low in cholesterol. I would have thought all nuts would be high in fat and cholesterol both – who knew?
We eat raw almonds every day for health, so we would most appreciate the nonpareil almonds!
one of the things I didn’t know about almond flour is how it tastes. i’ve been wanting to try it, so this giveaway is awesome.
Would love to try these, almonds are a huge hit in my house!!!
I didnt know almond flour was so versatile.
I have never used almond flour and didn’t realize you could do so much with it! Can’t wait to try it!!
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have the slivered almonds. I will be buying very soon from JUST ALMONDS. Thanks for sharing this information.
I didn’t know that almond flour is much like wheat flour in texture. I’m planning to try baking with it — as soon as I order it with my slivered almonds!
I already subscribe to your newsletter. I didn’t realize there aren’t any true raw almonds in US. I love almonds and thought I was doing good buying “raw” almonds and soaking them

We have a diabetic in the house. The idea that almond flour can help stabilize blood sugar is great!

I didn’t know how much more nutritious almond flour was than traditional wheat flour.
I can’t seem to get it to show that I have left a message of the Rafflecopter. I have seen on other blogs you could clock Done It, but it has not shown up on this one.
Do you mean the first comment about something you didn’t know about almond flour? Maybe try a different browser? Sometimes that takes care of the problems.
I would like to try the almond flour
I would love to win some really wonderful tasting almonds, and thank you for the give away! I was wondering if you need to soak your almond flour?
Thanks
I am not sure. I’ve read conflicting info on the web. Some say soak – others say you don’t have to. I’m thinking it’s a good idea.
I hope to have more soaking info available soon!
Finally got it to work. I did not know there were so many things you could make with almond meal. Cookies, cake, bars, and biscuits. Lots more I am sure.
I am a subscriber.
I didn’t know that Almond flour is high in protein, low in carbohydrates and low in sugars.
I didn’t know that there was a difference between Almond Flours until I read about it on Elana’s Pantry. I used to buy from Trader Joes but now for baking I look for blanched almond four, a bit hard to find!
Wow thanks for getting back to me so quickly, I am looking forward to finding out how to soak almond flour.
I am already a subscriber. I didn’t know about the different types of almonds (non pareil, carmel, etc.)
I am seriously disturbd by the engine fuel!!!We eat a TON of almonds!! I am very grateful for you shedding light on this!!
Thank you for requiring the click on that link. I was absolutely fascinated by the information in her book. I had no idea that almond flour is so high in protein, low in carbs and high in fiber. What a perfect combination! I am going to purchase the book! Thanks so much for the info on your blog, you are amazing!
Karen recently posted..Raw Chocolate Mint Cake
You’re really too kind. I will say that Elana says her recipes only work w/ blanched almond flour, which sounds a little too picky to me, but since I’m not that much of a gourmand, maybe they’ll work OK
!
But if the almond flour isn’t blanched that means that the almonds haven’t been soaked and the skins removed, right? Something that I learned from the book was that all almond flours are NOT created equal!
You’re right. I would only recommend eating the flours that have the skins removed if you haven’t soaked and dried them.
I didn’t know about the different methods of pasteurization.
I dont’ think that was touched on in the book, was it? Please check the book and comment about something in there
. Thanks!
I knew most of the stuff that is covered in the book, but it doesn’t say why you don’t have to use the “binding” ingredients like you do in other gluten free flours. It only says that you don’t have to use those things. I would like to know what makes it different.
Not sure – good question!!!!
I didn’t realize that almond flour would work for savory recipes as well as, sweet. So far, I’ve only used almond flour for pancakes.

Karen recently posted..Raw Alfredo Sauce….this is AMazING
I didn’t know that almond flour was easier to bake with than the usual GF flours, requiring less combining of other ingredients like starches, xantham gum and mixing of numerous flours. That’s all I needed to hear to convince me to try it!!! (Along with all the other benefits!)
Great ideas. I had no idea there were different kinds of almonds. I can’t wait to try some! thanks for all your research.
Want to try the Non Pareil almonds! My kids should love the extra sweet flavor.

So are these almonds just steam-pasteurized?
Yes.
I would like to try the almond flour!
I didn’t realize that almond flour was so easy to sub in regular recipes–so exciting!
AWESOME Giveaway!!!!
LOVE this book. I wasn’t aware that almond four doesn’t require any additional binding ingredients such as xanthum gum or cornstarch.
Yes – interesting. Did you find out why this is??? Perhaps the almond have some stickiness inherent to them?
I learned that “You really can make everything from chocolate chip cookies to chocolate cake to pie dough with almond flour.” from reading the comments and looking at the cover and recipe titles
I didn’t know almond flour could contain JET FUEL!!!!
I’ve just started on my gluten free journey and still need to learn ALOT! I actually didnt know there was Almond Flour and you could make so many good looking breads with it! I’m now excited to try some bread recipes because I miss making my whole wheat bread!

What a wonderful giveaway! I’m highly addicted to almonds! I actually just got done making 1/2 gallon of almond milk. I make some everyday. Once I began making my own, that was the end of store-bought milk for me, lol.
I was thinking of buying some of those truly raw almonds from justalmonds.com. I entered code WNM in the correct field, but am receiving an error message that the code is invalid. Any ideas on why this is happening? Thank you very much!
I just emailed them. I am really sorry….I hope to have an answer in the morning. Please check back w/ me tomorrow.
Carol, they say it is working. Maybe try a different browser or call in your order?
The code is fixed. Thanks for waiting!
Thank you!! I’m excited to give these wonderful almonds a try!
Hi Adrienne,
Thanks. The code WNM is not valid. Could you check this out? I am interested to buy some almonds.
Thanks.
Kate
I’ll get back to you. Let me know if you don’t hear back from me. I just emailed my contact. Thanks!
I heard it is working. Maybe try a different browser? Maybe you could call them and use it?
The code is fixed. Thanks for waiting!
I did not know that almonds come in different varieties like “Caramel.”
I didn’t know it was low in cholesterol
I would love to try it!
i’d never seen a nutritional chart lining up almond flour against white & rice flour – those are great tools!
Subscribed to your feed and I didn’t know almond flour had so much calcium! 216mg in 100g compared to 20g in other flours!
From http://www.justalmonds.com/, I would love the sliced blanched almonds because I love to throw them on salads!
i think i would try the whole almonds – i would like to make some home made almond milk!
I didn’t even know almond flour existed!!
I didn’t even know almond flour existed!! I’d love to try the almond flour.

I like that it is high enough in protein to help balance blood sugar.
Almond Pasteurization Propylene Oxide (PPO): Summary-Created in April 1992; Revised in January 2000
Propylene oxide is used in the production of polyethers (the primary component of polyurethane foams) and propylene glycol. Acute (short-term) exposure of humans and animals to propylene oxide has caused eye and respiratory tract irritation. Dermal contact, even with dilute solutions, has caused skin irritation and necrosis in humans. Propylene oxide is also a mild central nervous system (CNS) depressant in humans. Inflammatory lesions of the nasal cavity, trachea, and lungs and neurological effects have been observed in animals chronically (long-term) exposed to propylene oxide by inhalation. Propylene oxide has been observed to cause tumors at or near the site of administration in rodents, causing forestomach tumors following ingestion via gavage (experimentally placing the chemical in the stomach) and nasal tumors after inhalation exposure. EPA has classified propylene oxide as a Group B2, probable human carcinogen.
would love the nonpareils. (confused over where to put “done it” if already subscribed.)
Did you figure it out? You have to just click on the DONE IT box that coordinates w/ that option in the Raffle widget.
I didn’t know you could use almond flour for cakes and other baked goods that you would normally need the gluten from flour to bind it together.
I didn’t know almonds came in different varieties. I hope to purchase some soon.
I’d like to try the almond flour (never used it before) and the nonpareils variety. thanks
I didn’t know you could make crackers out of almond flour.
I really would like to try the almond flour. It would be nice to be able to make a grain free cookie.
I did not know that Almond Flour can be used for people who have issues with Gluten and Wheat .
I have never tried the Almond Flour so I would like to try it.
I am new to the whole “whole food” way of eating. I am super excited to learn more about almonds versatility! Haha and I thought they were just made for being coated in chocolate, who knew you could bake with something called almond flour!?
I am very new to your blog. I just discovered it via the Frugally Sustainable Blog Hop. Yay! I have never used Almond Flour. I had no idea how nutritious and healthy it could be (good for your cholesterol!). I’m seriously thinking about eliminating all wheat from my diet so having a good almond flour would be awesome to try! Good job! What a fun giveaway! Thanks for all your hard work!
Welcome, Patti!!! We’re going a bit more grain free as well…not sure about it but we’ll see…
I didn’t even know you could buy almond flour!
I love almond flour but I didn’t know that it lowered your cholestrol. Sweet…
I didn’t know they didn’t grow raw almonds without chemicals. I love your blog by the way, so many great ideas!
Thanks, Ariane! I do need a comment about something you learned from the Almond Book, however, for the giveaway. Thanks!!!
I would love to try some almond flour, I’ve never tried it before.

I did not know that almond flour is just as easy to use as wheat flour, without requiring additional ingredients and it has a smooth texture.
I would love to try the Non Pareil almonds. Thanks for the chance!
I would like to try the GF almond flour. I do lots of GF baking but have yet to try almond flour…just too pricey.

I talked w/ Just Almonds and they said orders have come through. Make sure it’s all caps. You can call them as well. Maybe it’s a browser issue? I hope it works but please call them to get your 10% off regardless.
The code is fixed!!
Thanks. That was quick. I will try ordering and report back.

Glad to hear this might work for you! I assure you that they are really tasty!
I would like to point one thing. You can get “RAW” unpasteurized almond from http://www.Homegrownalmonds.com
While I was doing research for a good price, all sites selling unpasteurized was organic and very expensive. This was the only place that sells UNPASTEURIZED NON-ORGANIC almonds. Not sure about the price now, but my spreadsheet shows bulk price of $5.50/lb for 25lb and more.
Hope it helps.
Sofia
Hi Sofia. Thanks for sharing. I contacted them but they never got back to me. They do have a nice price. But I am not certain about the real difference between the steam pasteurized and the raw. From what I am reading, the steam flash pasteurization still leaves the enzymes intact. So, for now, I am OK with either–or both
. But you are good at research 
.
I actually knew nothing about almond flour before reading this excerpt. I like that it is as easy to use as wheat flour.
I would love to try the blanched almond flour.
I didn’t know that almond flour is a good recovery food from sports like cycling. I just like the taste!
I usually buy unpasteurized Italian almonds from some of the online raw food retailers because of the nonsense that goes on with our domestic ones. Justalmonds.com sounds like an amazing resource for healthy, uncontaminated almonds. I will have to explore their selection.
I was ready to buy almond flour just a few days ago and once again you are offering just what i was seriously looking for. I was going to use it for similar cookies and look fwd to seeing your recipe. I just tried making these new “Rawlona” bars Harvest Health just started selling and that would work better than the ground almonds i used. I miss seeing you and the boys and hope to get to your place this summer!
I so hope to see you too!!!! Please call or just stop by!
I would love to try the almond flour, and very much care about our almonds being truly raw!
I didn’t realize that almond flour had a good “mouth feel” compared to rice flour. I have this book actually!
I never realized how many more vitamins and minerals almond flour has compared to other flours! I’m sure those nutrients are more bio available compared to other flours too. No wonder its so yummy!
I would love to win this! I’ve been looking for a good almond source
Oops, I forgot to say what I would buy… I would buy the Nonpareil Supreme almonds, I love that their prices are so reasonable too!!!
I would love to try the chocolate chip cookies and the blueberry muffins.

I would like to give the almond flour a go or try the carmel almonds.
I didn’t know that Almond flour was a real thing (I’m new here). And I didn’t know that gluten free diets are high in carbs. What a great alternative with all the benefits of almonds!
I did not know that almond flour was gluten free and that it was so versatile! I really would like to try the flour in my cooking and see how it compares to wheat flour in taste and texture. Glad I found you!
I would love to make Mexican Wedding Cookies with the Almonds. Alternatively, I’d enjoy trying out the almond flour in shortbread cookies. I wasn’t aware it could have a sweet taste to it as you said in your blog, so I’d like to try it myself

The Almond Flour has a very high protein and fiber content. I had no idea that it was superior to other flours in nutrition. I would like to try it to reduce food cravings. I have avoided purchasing the flour because of the price- now that I realize how valuable it is, it’s a must-have food staple! I can’t wait to get the book to learn how to store this product.
i had no idea that almond flour was so easy to use! i can’t wait to start using it more in my gluten free baking!

I had no idea almond flour was so versatile! And such a good protein source!
I had no idea almond flour is allergenic in 1% of the population. That means its a great thing to use when baking for school functions.
I have recently been changing my diet because of my insulin resistance, so learning that almonds help stabilize blood sugar was so good to know!
Jill,
Hi Just wanted to mention that I have sugar issues as well. I am working on heavy metals and it seems to be improving and I have heard that stevia helps as well. The pure kind that I recommend in my posts – not the kind w/ fillers. Contact me if you would like more info.
I would LOVE to try the Non Pareil almonds….so fascinating to me that there are different kinds of almonds that have different flavors!
I would like to try both the almond flour and the nonpareil almonds. I have used a few different kinds of almond flour and have recently realized there is quite a difference in the flour if the skin is left on. I would love to try this brand in cooking.
I adore almonds and baking with almond flour. I finally discovered blanched almond flour; it makes such a difference!
I just subscribed to your wonderful blog. I am very excited to know that I am always going to be getting your posts.
Welcome!!!
I did not know that almonds are a low carb super food, very high in carbohydrates and full of good fats.
Carmel almonds would be my choice! Thanks for the opportunity in this great giveaway.
I didn’t know that there are no truly raw almonds grown and sold in US stores (that sucks!!). Great giveaway! I LOVE all things almond!!
I’d love to try the non pareil almonds!
I cannot eat wheat flour due to being an “O” blood type. So happy almond flour will make a great substitute and what I didn’t know is that it’s nutritional value is up on so many nutrients, I new protein would be higher, but others were a surprise!
Excited about this give away, thank you. Linda
Though we use almonds to make almond milk as a replacement for dairy, I had no idea that almond flour is such an easy substitute for wheat! Many members of my family have had to go GF and corn-free (which means we can’t use the convenience GF mixes in health food stores). It is a pain to get all those flours to make a mix to replace wheat. I think I’ve just discovered the solution! Thank you!!!

Yes it is
I didn’t know you could substitute almond flour in almost anything for protein and as a super food!
I would love to try the gluten free almond flour!

I didn’t know AF was so high in fibre, wow!

I didn’t know that you can use almond flour in most baking.
Wow, I had no idea! I don’t want engine fuel in mine either, lol!
Just FYI, as a rule I prefer that people don’t link giveaways as it’s really not in the spirit of the meme and I’m afraid of being overrun by giveaways someday, lol! But wow, I love your heart here and how you are committed to health and called around until you could find a company that’s willing to work with you.
I need to be more aware of what I’m putting in my mouth and can learn a lot from you. I need to get back over here and doing some reading up on your blog, and I’m particularly interested in reading about your use of coconut oil, as I have never tried it. Thanks so much for linking up!
Thanks for the compliment and the email. I’ll try to remember about the giveaway rule – did I perhaps miss it? My son sometimes helps me w/ linkups so perhaps he missed it.
I’d be happy to answer questions about coconut oil. I use it for almost everything. Take care!
I didn’t realize almond flour was high in protein and fiber.

I odd not know almond flour was so good for you.
Hi,
Just Almonds are:
NOn GMO?
Organic?
and not pasteurized by any means?
Thanks for the info, will order with your code.
Another question: I have been soaking almonds for 8 hours and blending or eating whole. Doesnt soaking take out the tannic acid and the jet fuel? Thanks
Just Almonds…not organic. Steam pasteurized but no engine fuel. I don’t know of GMO almonds but I could ask. I don’t know why the soaking would remove the fuel. But then, the FDA says the fuel isn’t there anymore or at least that it’s fine to eat. I don’t want it on my almonds. These taste better anyways.
