Almonds are typically pasteurized using one of two methods: steam treatment or propylene oxide (PPO) treatment. Steam treatment involves heating the almonds to about 210-215F for about 8 seconds with steam. Propylene oxide (PPO) treatment involves exposing the almonds to propylene oxide gas, which also helps to kill any bacteria present.<\/p><p style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(226,232,240,var(--tw-border-opacity)); --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-inset: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(0,38,234,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; margin-bottom: 0px; cursor: text; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; color: #1e293b; font-family: 'Inter var', ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 17.5px; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u00a0<\/p><h2 style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(226,232,240,var(--tw-border-opacity)); --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-inset: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(0,38,234,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; margin-top: 1.55556em; margin-bottom: 0.888889em; font-size: 1.5rem; font-weight: 600; cursor: text; line-height: 1.11111; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; letter-spacing: -0.025em; color: #1e293b; font-family: 'Inter var', ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-style: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Are raw unpasteurized almonds better than pasteurized ones?<\/h2><p style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(226,232,240,var(--tw-border-opacity)); --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-inset: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(0,38,234,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; margin-bottom: 0px; cursor: text; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; color: #1e293b; font-family: 'Inter var', ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 17.5px; white-space: pre-wrap;\">There is much debate among almond lovers as to whether or not raw, unpasteurized almonds are better than pasteurized. While pasteurization does kill any bacteria that may be present in the almonds, it also can result in the loss of some flavor and nutrition. Many people believe that the flavor of raw almonds is better than pasteurized, but it is really a matter of personal preference.<\/p><p style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(226,232,240,var(--tw-border-opacity)); --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-inset: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(0,38,234,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; margin-bottom: 0px; cursor: text; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; color: #1e293b; font-family: 'Inter var', ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 17.5px; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(226,232,240,var(--tw-border-opacity)); --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-inset: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(0,38,234,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; margin-bottom: 0px; cursor: text; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; color: #1e293b; font-family: 'Inter var', ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 17.5px; white-space: pre-wrap;\">There is also the unsettling thought about raw almonds being pasteurized with the chemical propylene oxide, which has been linked to cancer in animals. Although there is no evidence that PPO is harmful to humans, it still makes me a little uneasy. You can avoid PPO pasteurized almonds by checking the label or buying raw organic or unpasteurized almonds. \u00a0<\/p><p style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(226,232,240,var(--tw-border-opacity)); --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-inset: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(0,38,234,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; margin-bottom: 0px; cursor: text; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; color: #1e293b; font-family: 'Inter var', ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 17.5px; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u00a0<\/p><h2 style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(226,232,240,var(--tw-border-opacity)); --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-inset: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(0,38,234,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; margin-top: 1.55556em; margin-bottom: 0.888889em; font-size: 1.5rem; font-weight: 600; cursor: text; line-height: 1.11111; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; letter-spacing: -0.025em; color: #1e293b; font-family: 'Inter var', ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-style: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;\">What are sprouted almonds?<\/h2><p style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(226,232,240,var(--tw-border-opacity)); --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-inset: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(0,38,234,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; margin-bottom: 0px; cursor: text; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; color: #1e293b; font-family: 'Inter var', ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 17.5px; white-space: pre-wrap;\">For extra credit, if you wanted to take almonds to the next level, you can sprout your almonds.

It just takes time. All you need is a mason jar, coffee filter (or cheesecloth), some water, salt, and of course, almonds. First, fill a quart-sized jar about a 1\/3 with raw almonds and then fill the rest of the jar with warm, filtered water and \u00bd tsp of salt. Soak the almonds in water for about 12 hours. Then drain and rinse the almonds. Replace the solid middle insert of the jar lid with a coffee filter or some other breathable mesh, close the jar, and lay it at an angle to let it drain and get some air circulating. \u00a0You might need to repeat this process a few times before seeing them sprout. Once they are done sprouting, rinse them off and enjoy!<\/p><p style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(226,232,240,var(--tw-border-opacity)); --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-inset: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(0,38,234,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; margin-bottom: 0px; cursor: text; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; color: #1e293b; font-family: 'Inter var', ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 17.5px; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u00a0<\/p><h2 style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(226,232,240,var(--tw-border-opacity)); --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-inset: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(0,38,234,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; margin-top: 1.55556em; margin-bottom: 0.888889em; font-size: 1.5rem; font-weight: 600; cursor: text; line-height: 1.11111; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; letter-spacing: -0.025em; color: #1e293b; font-family: 'Inter var', ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-style: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;\">It\u2019s all good<\/h2><p style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(226,232,240,var(--tw-border-opacity)); --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-inset: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(0,38,234,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; margin-bottom: 0px; cursor: text; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; color: #1e293b; font-family: 'Inter var', ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 17.5px; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Almonds are highly beneficial for anyone looking to switch to a healthier lifestyle.
