California Central Valley: Why Origin Determines Freshness

California grows approximately 80 percent of the world's almonds. The distinction between Nut Cravings and mass-market almond bags is not the growing region but what happens between grove and pantry. Big-box inventory moves slowly. By the time a bulk bag reaches a grocery shelf and then a kitchen, the skins have turned papery and the kernels have lost their natural sweetness. Nut Cravings sources directly from Central Valley growers, shells the almonds, and packs them into resealable stand-up bags at our Monroe, New York facility within weeks of harvest. Verified buyers confirm the result: "Fresh, well packaged. Will buy again." And: "Very pleased with the product and cost."

How to Use Raw Almonds

Daily Snacking

A one-ounce handful of approximately 23 raw almonds delivers 170 calories, 6 grams of protein, and 3 grams of dietary fiber in a snack that creates genuine satiety without a high calorie load. Pair with a piece of fruit or dark chocolate for a complete afternoon snack that covers multiple nutrient categories in one handful.

Homemade Almond Milk

Soak 1 cup of raw almonds overnight in cold water. Drain, rinse, blend with 4 cups of filtered water for 1 to 2 minutes until fully smooth, then strain through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth. The skin-on kernels produce a slightly beige milk with more flavor complexity than blanched. Slip the skins off after soaking if bright white milk is preferred. Store in a sealed jar refrigerated for up to 5 days.

Homemade Almond Butter

Blend 2 cups of raw almonds in a food processor for 10 to 15 minutes, scraping down the sides regularly. The natural oils release and the texture becomes smooth and creamy without added oil. The skin-on kernels produce a darker, more complex almond butter than blanched varieties. Season with a pinch of salt at the end only if desired.

Baking and Cooking

Chopped into homemade granola, crushed for pie crusts, ground into almond flour for gluten-free recipes. Skin-on kernels give baked goods a richer, more complex flavor than blanched. For almond flour, pulse in a food processor until fine, stopping before the oils release and the mixture becomes butter.

Trail Mix

Combine raw almonds with raw cashews, dried cranberries, and dark chocolate chips for a protein-forward trail mix. The raw format means the almonds integrate cleanly into any trail mix without the oil surface that roasted almonds carry, which keeps other ingredients from clumping around the almond pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between these shelled almonds and the in-shell almonds?

These are shelled almonds the outer hard shell has already been removed, leaving the whole almond kernel with the thin brown skin (pellicle) intact. They are ready to eat, blend, bake, or process immediately. No nutcracker required.

The in-shell almonds arrive whole with the hard outer shell still on. They require a nutcracker to open before eating. The advantage of in-shell is dramatically extended freshness the shell creates a near-airtight seal that preserves the kernel 2 to 4 times longer than any bag format (8 to 12 months pantry vs. 6 to 9 months for shelled). For daily snacking, almond milk, almond butter, and baking, shelled is the practical format. For holiday nut bowls, long-term pantry storage, and buyers who want the absolute freshest possible kernel, in-shell is the better choice.

Are raw almonds good for diabetics?

Yes a verified buyer on this exact product confirmed that her diabetic wife loves almonds as a snack and they are the number one natural product for diabetic people to eat. The clinical evidence supports this: at 2.5 grams of net carbs per ounce and a glycemic index of approximately 0 to 15, raw almonds have essentially no measurable impact on blood glucose at a one-ounce serving.

The 2024 comprehensive review (PMC11207051) specifically confirms almonds aid in glycemic control as a key metabolic health benefit. A 2021 study of 219 young adults found those who ate 56 grams of almonds daily had significant reductions in hemoglobin A1c (the three-month blood sugar average used to monitor diabetes) compared to a control group. The 2025 global expert consensus (11 scientists, Current Developments in Nutrition) identified healthy weight management through reduced subsequent caloric intake as one of the four key almond cardiometabolic mechanisms relevant for diabetic recipients managing insulin resistance.

How do I make almond milk with these?

Soak 1 cup of raw almonds in cold water overnight (8 to 12 hours minimum). Drain and rinse thoroughly. Add the soaked almonds and 4 cups of filtered water to a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes until fully smooth. Strain through a nut milk bag, fine-mesh cheesecloth, or fine strainer. Squeeze out all liquid. The remaining pulp can be dried and used as almond flour.

Optional add-ins for the final milk: a pinch of salt, a date or two for natural sweetness, vanilla extract, or cinnamon. Store the finished milk in a sealed jar in the refrigerator and use within 4 to 5 days. Shake before each use as the milk will separate.

The skin-on almonds produce a slightly beige milk with more flavor complexity than blanched. If you want bright white almond milk, slip the skins off after soaking (they will slide off easily after overnight soaking). Both versions are excellent.

Are raw almonds better than roasted for health?

For nutritional purposes, yes. Raw preserves the full vitamin E content (roasting degrades a portion), keeps the MUFA fat profile intact (roasting begins to oxidize polyunsaturated fats), and preserves the pellicle polyphenols (catechins, epicatechins, kaempferol, isorhamnetin) that blanching removes and high-heat roasting partially degrades.

For snacking experience, roasted often wins on flavor the toasty notes from the Maillard reaction are genuinely more appealing to most palates than raw. For health purposes, raw is the more complete nutritional format. If you want roasted almonds, buy raw and roast them yourself at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 12 minutes -- that way you control the process and avoid the added oils that most commercial dry-roasting still uses. The page description is correct: you can always roast raw almonds yourself. You cannot un-roast roasted almonds.

Are these almonds keto-friendly?

Yes. At 2.5 grams of net carbohydrates per ounce (6.1 grams total carbs minus 3.5 grams fiber), raw almonds are fully compatible with strict ketogenic diets targeting 20 to 25 grams of net carbs daily. One ounce uses approximately 10 to 12 percent of the daily keto carb budget while delivering 37 percent DV vitamin E, 6 grams of protein, 3.5 grams of fiber, and 14 grams of predominantly monounsaturated fat. The glycemic index of approximately 0 to 15 means no meaningful impact on blood glucose or ketosis disruption at a one-ounce serving.

Are these almonds Kosher certified?

Yes. Kosher Certified by the Beth Din Minchas Chinuch Tartikov (BDMC / TBD). The certification covers the complete product as packed and delivered. For restaurant, bakery, and food service buyers requiring Kosher certification documentation, documentation is available on request at 877-471-4870 or through the contact form.

Are these almonds safe for someone with a tree nut allergy?

No. Almonds are classified as tree nuts by the FDA and are one of the major food allergens. They will trigger reactions in people with almond or tree nut allergies. Our facility processes multiple tree nut varieties and peanuts. Not appropriate for anyone with a tree nut allergy.

How should I store raw almonds to keep them fresh?

Reseal the bag firmly after every use and store away from heat and direct light.

Pantry (sealed bag, cool dark location): 6 to 9 months
Refrigerator (sealed bag or airtight container): up to 2 years
Freezer (airtight container): 2 or more years with no quality loss

For the 3 lb and 5 lb sizes when available: divide on arrival. Bring a portion to the pantry and freeze the rest immediately. Almonds freeze exceptionally well. Fresh almonds smell mildly sweet with a clean nutty note. Rancid almonds smell sharp, paint-like, or slightly bitter flavor is a reliable freshness indicator with high-fat nuts.

How many almonds are in one ounce?

Approximately 23 whole raw almonds per ounce. That is more than most people expect from a one-ounce serving. At 164 calories, 6 grams of protein, and 3.5 grams of fiber, 23 almonds create meaningful satiety without a high calorie load. The 2025 global expert consensus on almonds used 1 to 1.5 ounces per day (approximately 23 to 35 almonds) as the reference daily serving for the documented cardiometabolic benefits -- an achievable and sustainable daily amount that fits a handful-before-lunch or afternoon-snack habit.
