We love to share good news about things we love, and we love almonds! NPR's Food blog, the Salt posted this research report on almonds.<\/p>\n

We're fussy about our almonds and prefer these freshly roasted, soft shell lovelies we buy from Fastachi<\/a> at their shop in Watertown or at one of the farmers' markets they attend. <\/p>\n
