Hi! I'm following all of this talk of avocado addiction with interest. My particular craving, not an addiction YET, or a denied addiction, is with nuts. Several times now I've bought some raw almonds, taken them home and I'd be ok eating just a few now and then for a while and then one day, wham!, I can eat four or five ounces in one fell swoop. The second time this happened to me in less than a month I tossed the rest of the bag to keep from eating the rest of it. I know that it's better to soak and skin the almonds but I do find the taste much better when I don't soak them. The one time I soaked and skinned some, to make almond milk, I didn't like the texture and the taste. I have a memory of once soaking some lima beans, and getting VERY sick from them. I threw up for several HOURS from those lima beans. The sad part of the story is that when I started eating those lima beans I knew something wasn't right with the taste and smell. I ignored strong stop signals from my body because I thought that those soaked organic limas were good for me that I let myself get really sick. It may be that I needed to rinse and clean the beans more before and/or after their soaking. Anyway, the taste and texture of the soaked almonds, the slimy slipperiness, reminded me of those lima beans. I have some trouble, though not as much, with raw pumpkin seeds. The pumpkin seeds are new to my diet; maybe the novelty will wear off? Sunflower seeds I can much on without eating them all. The absolutely worst "gotta have all of it reaction" came when my girlfriend and I were shopping at Trader Joes. She noticed a jar of almond butter, the almonds weren't raw though, and we bought it. When we got home I took one taste and got such a hit of "gimme more" both of use were absolutely amazed. She ended up taking the jar home and she'll be "spoon feeding" it to me a little at a time or making it into sauces. I wonder if raw almond butter would give me the same hit. So, do any of you folks out there have trouble with nut and seed consumption? Sol
