I saw a note in an episode of the History Channel show Modern Marvels that indicated that if you choose the wrong almonds (they said "bitter" almonds) when making almond milk you get cyanide - so be careful. --BigZaphod 02:16, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

You can't buy bitter almonds in the U.S. without a doctor's perscription. They aren't commercially available, anyway. In Europe, as I understand it, there are usually a few in any large amount of sweet almonds (most European sweet almond trees produce a few bitter almonds as well). A few shouldn't hurt an adult, though - marzipan, macaroons, and ratafia are traditionally made with quite a few of them (though cooking does make them safer). From what I've read, though, bitter almonds won't make proper almond milk, anyhow. -GSwift 21:04, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History

Almond milk must be older than this, because it is mentioned in the Talmud. Basejumper 15:04, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
