Wow. I didn't know that. Strangely as I ate them they didn't seem quite as alive to me as the other foods I ate. I was going to eat about 2 ounces but stopped after eating a little more than half that. I thought I just had an off batch.
If the almonds are pasteurized, it's highly unethical to label them as raw. If they're dead, they won't sprout when put in water, for instance.
