Oh, and I make my own cashew and almond milk. Nuts are fine on LID, so long as they aren't salted (I can salt them myself, with non-iodized salt). I don't soak or blanch -- just blend raw almonds with 4 parts water. I also don't add sugar or salt, and I don't strain it -- I just let the sediment settle and then when I get near the bottom, I toss the sludge in bread dough or soup.
