I haven't noticed a difference in taste, but a definite difference in

soaking the almonds.  I do it anyway, though, to get rid of the pesky
enzyme inhibitors.

I bought some to fill the niche of peanut-butter-stuffed-celery.  Pretty
bland.

trouble with digestion (only if raw) if I overdo it.  No addiction
problems (yet).
