California almond crop the largest in history...

Hi, I'm a former almond grower. I snack on them all the time...Have a few trees around the house. You have the tariffs issues with China and such a large crop, the prices may be a little lower this year. If this applies to you...Enjoy.

Good to know! I appreciate you passing this along. I have family in food services and following food trends has always interested me, by proxy I guess

I heard California semi-loads of bee hives just arrived here in the cool temperatures of northern Minnesota for the summer months. Do you know what month the bees will be trucked back to California?

This story may interest you...Just came out a few days ago. Bloom starts about February 1 and ends in mid March...Depending on the weather that year. About 95% of the crop has to be cross pollinated. There is a new variety that is self pollinating, but not as tasty or in great demand. Brian

Shared this with my Dad. I had NO IDEA. What a world we live in

How many almonds are good to eat for a bypass patient in a day? or serving? Thank you!

During the losing phase, 1 year if MO, and 2 if SMO -- I'd recommend forgoing them completely. There are 179 calories per oz (about 28 nuts) -- and 7g carbs. One in maintenance, a serving (1/2 to 1 oz) per day is reasonable.

They are calorie dense.
