Default Almonds, again

I'm back to Blue Diamond almonds. I found a good choice. Their Natural "oven
roasted" sea salt almonds in the pale teal pkg.

<http://store.bluediamond.com/30-oz-Oven-Roasted-Sea-Salt-Flavor-Almonds_p_111.html>

They're roasted and crunchy and have very little salt. Actually, the
pkg sez 135g sodium per serving, but since they're oven roasted and
not covered in a sheen of deep fry oil, very little salt sticks and so
one ingests considerably less than the indicated salt content. I
think they are perfect.

Beware, though! These Naturals are not the same as Whole Natural, a
mistake I jes made. The whole natural almonds are so natural, they're
almost inedible. NOT roasted, NOT salted, NOT peeled/blanched, etc.
They're naturally tasteless!! ....and soft, too. Now I gotta gag my
way through a whole lb of 'em. bleh....
