 Though no cooking oils are strong sources of vitamins and minerals, almond oil does have a little bit of vitamin E and vitamin K. It's also got a high smoke point, so it can be used for all kinds of cooking.
And if you use it for the massage I suggested earlier, almond oil can be a terrific stress reliever. Try keeping it at bedside for relaxing times with your loved one.
Coconut Oil

Much of the great stuff I have to say about coconut oil should be cross-referenced with the section on coconut itself (see page 107). But the oil of this fabulous nut deserves an entry of its own. |
| Almond oil is very high in monounsaturated fats— 61 to 65 percent of the fat in almond oil is from oleic acid, the same omega-9 monounsaturated fat that makes olive and macadamia nut oils so healthy. Monounsaturated fats (omega-9s) are central to the Mediterranean diet that has been shown in virtually every single research study to be associated with lower rates of heart disease. |

 Tender almond Piecrust

 We drove to the west edge of Earlimart to the Atelo School on Washington Street. New almond orchards are being planted across from the school. Almonds are heavily sprayed. Teresa talked about her children and the children they know, including one little boy one of her daughters went to school with who was missing an ear, or how at a school assembly one little girl in Delano was missing three fingers and her mother said it was due to pesticides and then there are the new victims that you do not know about until some lucky reporter tells you. |

 Raw almond milk is both delicious and nutritious. While it doesn't have the protein content of animal milk, it's rich in plant-based fats and various anti-cancer phytonutrients. Once you make a batch, you'll need to drink it within a day or two, since it tends to sour very quickly (it's alive, raw and nutritious, obviously), but I've found that you can preserve it in the refrigerator for several days longer by adding a couple of drops of food-grade hydrogen peroxide.
Many raw food proponents are now drinking a combination of raw almond milk and raw goat's milk kefir. |

POLYUNSATURATED FATS

 Both almond butter and sesame tahini are versatile ingredients for many types of recipes, particularly soups and salad dressings. Tahini is especially enhancing with its creamy, dairy-like texture and rich flavor. These butters make a great snack straight out of the jar, as a dip for crudites or apple slices, or as a spread for raw bread or crackers. Research cited in this book shows that almonds are associated with up to 23 percent decrease in LDL.
HEMPSEED
The tiny shelled seed of the amazing hemp plant has a pleasant nutty flavor, similar to sunflower seeds. |

 I often blend it into a smoothie (it goes great with a chocolate avocado smoothie) or stir it into almond milk when I'm eating granola. This is truly medicinal food. It's not a protein supplement, nor a green foods supplement, it's actually a meal. You can literally just add water, stir, and eat it plain (it's that good).

| Many raw food proponents are now drinking a combination of raw almond milk and raw goat's milk kefir. That's a combination I'm enjoying, too. It's good to have a balance of both plant and animal-based milks, but only if they're from ethically treated, naturally raised animals who are not exposed to antibiotics, toxic chemicals or conventional veterinary care (which is all based on chemicals, just like human health care).

| These coffee substitutes come in a variety of flavors: vanilla nut, Java, hazelnut, chocolate mint, almond amaretto, etc. A great way to transition to grain coffee is to mix it with regular coffee as you scoop the dry grounds into your coffee filter. So if you normally use 4 scoops of ground coffee, then try 3 scoops of coffee with 1 scoop of grain coffee for the first week. Continue to transition gradually until you have eliminated your consumption of regular coffee altogether. |

 My two favorite recipes are chocolate (with raw cacao, coconut oil or macadamia nut oil, raw avocado, spirulina, quinoa, banana and almond milk) and super berry (fresh berries, freeze-dried berries, egg white protein, stevia, aloe vera gel, fresh cucumber or watermelon, celery).
I put no personal care products on my skin whatsoever: No deodorants, no fragrance, no skin creams, no cosmetics and no sunscreen. This alone saves me from exposure to hundreds of cancer-causing toxic chemicals added to personal care products. |

 Chocolate Chunks
Have you ever taken a large, raw fig right off a fig tree, then stuffed it with raw almond butter, cinnamon, goji berries and chocolate? I haven't either. But for some reason, the Empowered Foods team thought this would be a great idea (did it come to them in a dream?), so they created a product out of it. The product rocks. Personally, I love raw figs in the first place (they're WAY better than the typical dried figs you get in the store). |

 These include such diverse food sources as almond blossoms, pumpkins, cucumbers, raspberries, avocados, and alfalfa. Unless something is done to protect the honeybee population soon, many fruits and vegetables may disappear from the food chain.
The results of a limited study at Landau University have been reported in newspapers around the world, stating that radiation coming from cell phones may be directly responsible for the disappearance of bee populations around the globe. |

 Raw goat's milk is superior to cow's milk because it is closer to human milk and easier to digest.
Raw almond or even processed rice milk are better options than soy (now genetically modified) and cooked cow's milk. almond milk has a high-fat content, and may be used to "cut" tea or coffee.
Love and Prayer
Everything we eat could and should be saturated with love. Loving our food is the next massive health revolution.
Not only what we eat is important, but how we eat. Take a moment, before you eat a meal and bless the food. Say a prayer. |

 CASHEW OR almond SHAKE
'A cup cashews (or almonds) per person V4-V2 pineapple per person V1-V2 cup fresh orange or apple juice per person Strawberries or passion fruit optional
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until very smooth and creamy.
Tip: add ice cubes after blending the nuts and the shake gets very white and frothy.
Add less juice to make a thick cream and serve on a mixed acid/ sub-acid fruit salad. You may prefer to add the passion fruit pulp last and just stir to prevent the gritty pieces from the seeds being chopped. |

| Walnut and almond trees, some fully mature and neady coiffed and other saplings that were barely waist high and still under protective wrap, had sprung everywhere—and these were indeed golden. Times were good. Farmland was worth more than ever. Some land was going for $6,000 an acre, when only years earlier you could get an acre of prime farmland at $1,000 or $2,000.
"All We Ask Is One Pound a Week," proclaimed another sign from the Blue Diamond Walnut Growers cooperative on 1-99. McFarland kept looming up ahead. I saw signs for Arvin, Taft, and Pumpkin Center. |
| Like most towns in the Valley, McFarland was all about farming, with a large proportion of the population of nearly eight thousand made up of Hispanic families that earned their livelihood in the surrounding fields of cotton, grapes, citrus, and almond orchards. Almost everyone worked in the fields, and all breathed the chemicals that came from the petroleum extracted from the Earth that was then distilled, refined, and chlorinated to make them even more toxic when they were sprayed back on the soil and vegetation.
The town was filled with young women and their babies. |

 Coverage is in the light to medium range and the 17 shades are almost impeccable—the only ones to watch out for are Golden, which is quite yellow, and Walnut and almond, both being slightly red. Warm Natutal is borderline peach and has a brightness to it that's not exactly skin-true, but it may work for some Asian skin tones. African-American skin tones are well-served here, as are those with skin in the very fair range. Lamentably, the sunscreen is without sufficient UVA-protecting ingredients, which means this must be paired with another product that provides that critical protection. |
