I eat dry-roasted almonds as a snack. I buy dry-roasted, unsalted almonds, then dry-roast 'em in my oven for 20 minutes to make them more crisp. Is this a bad thing? I've heard that roasting creates free radicals that can lead to cancer. I eat almonds for their health benefits, but wonder if I should stick to the raw type (that don't taste as good). Advice, please???
My favorite almond preparation is raw almond butter. Try it if you can find it. I think they roast almonds to kill bacteria and give the nuts a longer shelf life. My wife blends raw almonds in our smoothies. No need to use almond butter there.
