To make sure there was no funny stuff going on I wanted to know where the almonds came from. As it turns out many Sikhs are farming in California's Central Valley and growing almonds is one of things they do. Yeah,..... the almonds are shipped all the way from the U.S. (that's probably why no great price break on this good oil) |
The Almonds are poured into the
stone bowl and turned into a mush in pretty pretty quick order by this wooden arrangement attached to a buffalo (mudjeon).This is basically a giant mortar and pestle. |
