Ya know, I don't really know WHY I want to remove the skins. I read SOMEWHERE... I have absolutely NO idea where, that almond skins have some sort of toxic something in them & that they should be removed. I really have no idea where I read this, could've been online OR in a book OR...?
Now, after reading your post, I looked in "Rainbow Green Live..." and I see that Cousens makes no mention of peeling almonds. duh...
I DON"T want to peel almonds. The mere thought of it is causing me to stall in my experimentation!
Thanks for your reply, and for the good info! Almonds are my FAVORITE nut & I've eaten a LOT of them in my life :)
