Almonds...perhaps not very safe anymore!

[Guest guest]

Listmates,

Someone on another list mentioned that apparently, raw almonds now are

required (in most cases) to be treated with propylene oxide.

Almonds are an extremely high oxalate food, but this new required treatment

to undergo this process.
