Raw almonds Sub ?

Firedawg2409 Posts: 14 Joined: 2006/03/20	2006/03/20, 10:22 AM Not really sure i understand what a raw almond is to begin with. Are the almonds in the planters can of mixed nuts considered raw? Well anyways, the 6-meal a day diet i am on calls for a handful or raw almonds as a mid-snack between lunch and dinner, dont know the reason, but is there anything that i can substitute it for?

You will find raw almonds in the bulk or health food section of the grocery store. -------------- If you have a strong enough why you can bear almost any how. - Nietzsche

Well my problem is in the Chow Hall here they just have a huge bowl of mixed salted nuts, i just scoop some out and pick the almonds out and eat them....
