I get some wonderful almonds from a BIOS place in northern Calif.

By the way, does anyone know where I can get RAW pistatio nuts? Those I have
seen for sale at a store always without fail have mixed in many rancid nuts.
I'd like to buy directly from the person who grows the trees and harvests the
nuts, so I could get them right off the tree, so to speak, not stored until
rancid.
