Good to know, and for everyone's info, Raley's (or, at least, the Nob Hill on Alameda) has both the fresh and the roasted during the weeks listed for roasting, and this year Aug. 15-19 and 22-26 are listed for Alameda, 11am-6pm. I've found their roasting consistency to be pretty good. I usually remove the outer skins and seeds before freezing, and always find the frozen and thawed version to be quite a bit hotter than the never frozen version. I guess freezing bursts a few more cell walls.
