Well, full of calcium, anyway :). And if you make it with low fat milk then it's low fat and full of calcium. I love it, but only buy a small box from time to time because it's terribly easy to get used to eating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-3887643216878970182007-05-01T18:55:00.000-04:002007-05-01T18:55:00.000-04:00Hi all!I can see there's definitely room for anoth...Hi all!<BR/><BR/>I can see there's definitely room for another Nut post in the future, you all are Nut Freaks and I mean this of course only in the nicest way!<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure about this not-cooking-them-in-any way information though. Don't like the sound of this at all. Raw nuts taste bland and boring to me. I need to see a big fat pile of studies from somewhere Fancy and Prestigious before I'm going to give up eating them roasted.<BR/><BR/>And Gillian--if you ever happen to return after this comment-athon is over at absolute write, I'm hoping you'll tell me what the heck salep is?
