They are jumbo raw peanuts and need to be cooked. I use them in my homemade peanut brittle. These are very good quality raw peanuts and a very good value.

the ones i get from Amazon are steamed , blanched or pasteurized and are allowed to be labeled raw-pure raw is illegal to be sold unless purchased directly from farms -see Sunfood or Bremmer Foods being sold directly from the farm in Calif -Almonds from abroad can be sold totally pure raw and health food stores and some whole food super markets carry them

Yes, raw (and unsalted). We found them quite satisfactory, and we have had the best - from southern NM, in the past.

Yes, these are raw brazil nuts, just like the ones i have been shelling muself for years. I keep the large bag in the freezer and portion out smaller amounts every week or so.

Ask if the almonds are 100% "unprocessed", that's the key word. As to answering the question, there is no way to know the truth unless you follow the seed from the tree to your mouth. http:// www .organicpastures.com/ raw-almond-expose. html

They are grown in canada and it does not state raw, but I believe they are raw

I see what you mean about it being hard to tell by the description. There is no labeling on the container that is any help, either. As you know, this product shows under the searches for both raw and unsalted nuts. I assumed tbey were roasted when I puechased them. Peanut oil is listed as an ingredient, which would lead me to believe that they are roasted. It seems they would be kind of greasy if they were raw and had oil in them. They also seem somewhat more crunchy than raw nuts, to me, anyway. Hope this helps.

There's nothing to indicate otherwise on the bottle. It's not raw though and I assume it's been pasteurized -- it takes a long time for it to crystallize. But you can tell they haven't strained out the pollens, like the stuff from China does, from the taste.

I bought this product and they were unsalted raw nuts. I was very happy with the freshness.

I believe it is taken from raw Argan nuts, at least that is what I remember from the demonstration I saw while I was in Morocco.

They are in a brine like you see in olive bars in the Grocery store, a bit like pickles. You can eat them from the bag. I do not think they are "cooked" using heat.

Nothing on the package about being Dutch processed. Label states "...processed at low temperatures..." which qualifies it as raw.

About these particular nuts, I cannot comment. But for your general information and in answer to the comment by Leann McCamey: I am sorry to have to inform you that the FDA specifically allows steam-heat pasteurized almonds to be labeled "RAW" Yes, even though they are "cooked" by being pasteurized, the FDA allows (and perhaps encourages) the industry to continue to label them raw. The other method of "pasteurization" is fumigation by toxic gas (my memory is not screening up the chemical right now, just google for it) and those also are "raw", I am not sure how "organic" they are according to the USDA's definition of "organic". Of course none of this fits MY definition of safe, wholesome, raw or organic. About these particular nuts, I cannot comment.

Yes they are raw and the texture can change. When it is put in water it becomes gel-like which is the way i like it. Other wise it is a crunchy type of seed

The packaging process cooks them. They cannot remain raw, and still be packaged.

It says Roasted & Salted on the bag. Shelled. My batch was burnt and overcooked. Others have stated they got good fresh nuts.
