After tasting a new brand of packaged almonds I had just bought
I noticed it had a pretty bland flavor and a cardboardy
texture. Toasting them helped a bit (as it always does)
but it was still an inferior almond experienced.

Then I noted the package said "steam pasteurized".
No wonder the texture was permanently destroyed.
They were steamed and so was I. Those things are not
cheap.

I need to make sure I don't fall for this one again.
