The Fumigation Issue No Indian Almond Brand Mentions
California produces 80% of the world’s almonds. Since 2007, US law requires all California almonds to be pasteurised before sale – even if marketed as “raw.” Most large producers use propylene oxide (PPO) fumigation, which is faster and cheaper than steam treatment. PPO is classified as a probable human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC Group 2B).
Certified organic standards specifically prohibit PPO fumigation. Organic almonds must be steam or dry (high-heat) pasteurised instead. This is the only regulatory mechanism that guarantees PPO-free almonds from Californian sources.
Woitpure sources exclusively from USDA certified organic California farms using steam pasteurisation only. No PPO. No residue. Safe to soak overnight and eat skin-on.
Why Soaking Quality Almonds Is Different From Soaking Standard Almonds
Soaking almonds for 8 hours activates their enzyme inhibitors – reducing phytic acid (which blocks mineral absorption) and increasing bioavailability of Vitamin E, magnesium, and the monounsaturated fats. But soaking only delivers these benefits fully if the almonds have not been chemically treated. PPO-fumigated almonds can concentrate residues during soaking in the same water you then consume.
- 25.6mg Vitamin E per 100g – highest of any tree nut
- 18.5g monounsaturated fat – cardiovascular and cholesterol benefit
- Zero PPO fumigation – USDA certified organic, steam pasteurised only
- Full-sized (no splits, no breakage, no off-grade)
- Safe to soak overnight and eat skin-on or peeled
