It's worth noting Almond trees are being town out by the thousands of acres in CA.... WATER. It takes 1900 gallons on avg to grow 1 pound of almonds. On average 1.1 gallons of water for every single almond.
They are one of my favorite nuts, and favorite nut milk... but I no longer buy either.

Most raw almonds are irradiated. Look for non-irradiated, organic raw almonds at a farmer's market or buy from a grower.
A carton of almond milk has less than one almond in the whole quart. To ensure nutritional value, make your own: one handful of almonds, oats, hemp seeds, flax seeds... and a quart of water in a blender, strain, and enjoy up to 5-7 days refrigerated. You can re-use the meal for a second weaker batch. Then use the meal in veggie burgers or a lentil loaf.
Love,
Emerald

You might check this out as well. "The bees in the almond groves are being exploited and disrespected. They are in severe decline because our human relationship to them has become so destructive.”
In order to improve the pollination process, groups have launched programs to help protect bees and signal to consumers which products have been made with “bee-friendly” methods. The nonprofit “Bee Better,” for instance, partners with almond growers to increase biodiversity for bees in their groves by planting wildflowers, mustard, and clover between the rows of almond trees."
The Cut: Almond Milk Is Even More Evil Than You Thought
