my husband does QA for food mfg...thought it was probably a toxin, like aflatoxin, from fungus at the... farm). ... there’s no way to kill the toxin before eating and also places don’t normally test for this. https://old.reddit.com/r/DailyHarvest/comments/vgci0y/my_wife_went_to_the_hospital_for_2_days_with/id4emib/?sort=controversial

 

Aflatoxin is produced by moulds on nuts and seeds. Heat treating the nuts and seeds e.g. roasting, will kill the moulds ...but ... heating below incineration will not remove the aflatoxin already present. Aflatoxin... is not easily broken down once...certainly not by cooking at normal temperatures. ... some people suggest that sprouting the seeds before consumption will reduce... aflatoxin, but .... It seems more likely... the concentration per gram goes down. If you have nuts or seeds that look mouldy, the best advice really is not to eat them..... I would recommend buying food from a reputable supplier. Storing it in dry cool conditions and not eating it if it appears to be mouldy. https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-remove-aflatoxin-from-nuts-and-seeds?share=1
