Almond Butter & Almonds are Back... Hey Everyone, We finally got my Almond Butter, Sprouted Almonds, and Truly Raw Almonds back in stock. My almond butter had some changes. Of course, I’ve got the best Truly Raw Almonds in the world, but I had to go back to my previous stone grinders. My almond butter is still absolutely incredible, but it won’t be as liquid-thin as before. The guy who was previously making our liquid-thin almond butter and wild jungle peanut butter came down with cancer, and has decided to stop his business for now. This is why we went back to our old stone grinders. Unfortunately, we had to discontinue the Wild Jungle Peanut butter, because the stone grinders we are using now are a peanut-free facility. So sorry about that. These stone grinders still produce an incredible truly raw almond butter, but I can’t get it as liquid-thin. My almond butter will be back to the same consistency as it used to be before we had access to these other stone grinders. The important part is that these almonds are truly raw. There are so many Raw Food companies now who are using the California Almonds that have been pasteurized. One Raw Food Supplier told me that they are lightly steamed pasteurized, but still sproutable (lol), and another raw food company was using these types of pasteurized almonds in their Almond Butters. It was driving me nuts. See, the price of Truly Raw Almonds skyrocketed, so this is what I’ve been dealing with here, and why I’ve been out of stock. You just can’t trust what is out there these days. Although the price has increased, I finally got back the truly raw almonds from Sicily. I used these Truly Raw Almonds in the nut butter, the sprouted almonds, and the truly raw almonds. Why is it important to eat Truly Raw Almonds? When nuts are roasted or cooked, their delicate oils become damaged and oxidized, creating free radicals that can trigger inflammation throughout the body. The natural vitamin E and enzymes that protect and help you digest those oils are destroyed, while the proteins become denatured and form harmful compounds through the browning process. Even the minerals that make nuts so nourishing are diminished. This transformation turns what was once a vibrant, alkaline food into something acid-forming and taxing to the body. That’s why I insist on keeping our Almond Butter and almonds truly raw — so every spoonful remains clean, alive, and deeply nourishing. Dr. Norman Walker who lived to be 100 years old, and who was the true father of juicing, wrote in his book "The Vegetarian Guide to Diet & Salad", “Nuts which have been cooked, roasted, or otherwise subjected to excessive heat, are harmful on account of the change which takes place in the fat under these conditions. The reaction on the liver and gall bladder is then detrimental and may sooner or later interfere with the complete and proper function of these organs.” Our Almonds are Truly 100% Raw, with no heat, and no chemicals. Also, stone grinding is the only way to make sure that a Nut Butter is truly raw. This is critical in order to keep the nutritional integrity of the nut and to keep it from harming the body. Now, this batch of Sprouted Almonds is absolutely incredible. These Sprouted Almonds are light and airy, and super crunchy, just how a sprouted almond should be. You will absolutely love them! Sprouted almonds are easier to digest due to reduced phytic acid, which boosts mineral absorption, while the sprouting process enhances nutrient bioavailability (like B vitamins and minerals) by breaking down complex compounds. Sprouting almonds also improves protein quality by making amino acids more digestible. It also deactivates enzyme inhibitors for a gentler impact on the stomach, and potentially increases antioxidants like polyphenols to fight inflammation. Plus, converting starches to sugars during germination slightly lowers carbs, possibly benefiting blood sugar control, all while maintaining almonds’ core nutritional value. As I said the price of Truly Raw Almonds has skyrocketed. I’m reducing my margins on these bad boys through the end of the month for ya guys. Through the end of the month, the regular truly raw almonds are $19.95 when you get a 3-pack, the sprouted almonds are $24.95 when you get a 3-pack, and my Almond Butter is $22.95 each when you get a 3-pack.

Pine Pollen Special in Glass Jar... Hey Everyone! Recently, I crafted my very own Pine Pollen Powder and packaged it in a glass jar—something no one else is offering. Through the end of the month, it’s still on special for just $14.95 each when you get a 3-pack, and only $13.46 per bottle when you get a 12-pack. This isn’t just any pine pollen; it’s Pinus Massoniana with a cracked cell wall, which means your body can absorb it more efficiently and get the full range of nutrients it offers. This variety is widely regarded as the best for bioavailability and potency, giving you all the micronutrients that quality pine pollen should deliver. To crack the cell walls, we simply pass the pine pollen through a gentle airflow system and a specially designed screen, which together carefully open the tough outer layer without exposing it to high temperatures. This preserves all the delicate nutrients, enzymes, and bioactive compounds, making them fully available for your body to absorb. It’s a simple, natural method that keeps the pollen as close to its raw, natural state as possible while maximizing its potency. Since this is my very own pine pollen—and I was able to get it in high quantities—I’m able to offer the same 50 g size to you at a lower price, even in a glass jar. I consider Pine Pollen one of those rare micronutrient superfoods because it’s easily digested and packed with a wide array of potent, naturally occurring nutrients. With over 200 bioactive compounds, Pine Pollen offers far more than just basic vitamins and minerals. You’ll find nutrients that are rarely found in the modern diet, all in a highly absorbable form that the body can recognize and use. Pine Pollen contains all three essential fatty acids: Omega 3, 6, and 9, plus protein, over 18 amino acids, B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B9), and even Vitamin D. It also delivers a wide range of rare bio-active plant compounds - including flavonoids, quercetin, polyphenols, resveratrol, MSM, nucleic acids (DNA/RNA), enzymes, and coenzymes - plus lesser-known compounds like proanthocyanidins, rutin, lignin, and monosaccharides. As for minerals - it’s loaded with hard-to-get ones like zinc, selenium, molybdenum, manganese, and boron, plus essential electrolytes like calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus, along with trace minerals like iron, copper, sulfur, and silicon for well-rounded mineral support. Let's just top it all off with a few more Vitamins, including Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, and Inositol! Phew, that was a lot! You can get all of these nutrients and more by simply intaking this natural, unprocessed superfood. Because it’s so concentrated, you only need a small amount daily - just 1/4-1/2 teaspoon per day lasts you 50 days per jar. And at this 'At-Cost' price, it’s a great opportunity to give your body a boost with a nutrient-rich superfood that actually delivers.
