To the best of my knowledge, the biggest and best cashews you can buy
are from Koeze's.  Whether this is true or not is not relevant- they
are the biggest cashews I have ever seen, and I really like them. 
However, I like almonds more than I like cashews.  But- I have never
seen an enormous almond like the enormous cashew you would get from
Koeze's.  Is there such a product?  I suppose that it is possible that
almonds do not get to become "enormous," but if they can, I would like
the eat them:)

FYI- I get the Koez'es catalog and have never seen a jumbo almond, so
you can rule that out.

Thanks!

Pink-

I explored the Trader Joe's site- thank you for that.  However, I did
not find any mention of "world's largest almonds," although I did see
that they carry the "world's largest pistachios" (yuck).  Also, they
don't do online sales, which makes it difficult to purchase from them,
as I do not live near any of their stores (the closest is Cincinnati,
which is about 2 hours away).  Any other thoughts?

Trader Joe's "World's Largest Almonds" are legendary.

Trader Joe's locations are here:

Sounds yummy.
