Or wipe them off. Raw almonds are as good or better than roasted. Depending who grew them.
I'm from Northern California where a lot of this work is done! I worked for a company that manufactured equipment that is part of the almond harvesting process. Its so cool to see stuff I designed as I drive through the area. Great video!

And remember: decoyed almond don't exist
I used to drive a truck with double trailers in the almond orchard, during the September harvest, in California. Same as they show at the beginning of the video, in the processing plant. 24/7 operation, very dusty. Almonds are also expensive because newly planted trees take seven years to grow before the first crop. The most interesting part of the harvest is when they dislodge the nuts from the tree - a low tractor with two long arms grabs the trunk and shakes it violently, knocking the husks free. Farmers tell the same joke - the "L" in almond is silent because they shook the "ell" out of them.

I lived about three years on an almond ranch when I was a teenager ... help with harvest and the little processor the owner had ... maybe 25 foot tall trees would bloom in the spring, grow fruit until ready ... we used rubber mallets to bang on the tree limbs to knock the nuts off ... and then ran a machine that just scooped them up off the ground ... thus all the debris shown in the video ... the correct pronunciation when the nut is still on the tree is /al-mund/, with the L sound ... after it's on the ground, processed and on your table, it's pronounced /ah-mund/, without the L sound ... the rubber mallet mentioned above knocks the L out of them ...

If I understood correctly.... they spin the crap out of the whole almonds, the friction separates the shells from the almonds and the spinning barrels have perforations in it, so the almonds can escape, but not the shells... then a computer, a camera and shots of air get rid off the small shells that made it with the almonds, among other stuff...

The whole thing did make me realize that this idea of a picky eater is just a extreme of the already picky standards we unknowingly follow. I grew up on heirloom tomatos so I was used to cutting off pits & scabs but the amount of superficial standards is infurating good thing.hopefully most of the ones that don't make it are put into other items.

I’ve seen some of the equipment at Central Valley processors but it’s great to see the whole process. Really labor intensive even with robots and computers. I don’t know why they made that lady toss the reject almonds up when it’s far easier to give her a drop chute just inches away from the conveyor belt.
I'm impress with the technology they are using.
Everytime i watch videos like these it makes me proud of being a human. Such accurate precision and efficiency all in a computer to sort out almonds better than a human can do in an hr
if only i had put half of the care they put into sorting almonds, into my life
this is relaxing to watch :D

They have mechanical shaking machines that go into the almond groves, grab the trunks, and violently shake the tree. The almonds fall to the ground and they're picked up by other machines that then move them into trucks. It's also why they found a bottlecap in the trash.
