Can anyone tell me if the nuts and seeds that are in these bars are RAW or, are the almonds, cashews etc. roasted? I don't see it printed "raw" on it.

I think so, they taste like it. These are really good. Not 100% though, I finished them already and I do not have the label. Sorry

I read the can thoroughly and it doesn't indicate anywhere whether the seeds are raw or roasted. Sorry I couldn't help.

they are raw (no salt no roasting, nothing) just pecans straight from the shell (without the shell)

I bought mine well over a year ago. They were roasted and unsalted. I don't think nuts have gluten.

I am not positive, but if the package or jar says "raw" I assume it is unpasteurized. An article I once read said that California's law demands that all nuts grown in the state are pasteurized, even organic. Apparently, this process reduces some nutrients. If you ever contact Woodstock and ask the company your question directly, we purists would like to know the answer you receive! Thank you!

They state they are whole nut and fruit bars made from "natural ingredients" (not to be confused with organic ingredients.) ...

It says they are 100% pure shelled hemp seeds that are certified organic, kosher, non-gmo, gluten free and raw. It would be impossible to answer all your questions without being there in person. I personally trust that they are raw as advertised and feel they are a healthy alternative to other things we place into our bodies.

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.

They are raw peanuts OUT of the shell. I've ordered them twice and always they've been out of the shell.

I can answer the last question: they seem very fresh to me. The taste and texture are excellent. These cashews are far superior to the cashews my health food store carries. And the ones in "bins" are just awful.

Unfortunately, it's roasted almonds. I didn't know that when I ordered. The image in the description shows "Blanched almonds, palm fruit oil". The product I received says "Blanched roasted almonds, palm fruit oil". I wish I had seen this Q&A; before I ordered.

Peanut oil is listed as one of the ingredients. That probably means that the nuts are roasted, although this is not stated on package. It is possible, I guess, that the nuts are only tossed and coated with a small amount of peanut oil--I just don't know for sure.

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

The bars are soft and chewy, some of them have tiny bits of nuts in them but not large pieces. Hope that helps!

They were raw. I roasted them myself. They were ok, not the best quality. I did not buy them again.

Raw almonds are straight from the tree....they are shelled and apparently any almonds sold within the united states have to be pasturized.

It doesn't say anything except pecans fresh from Georgia...and they're wonderful! I did not see any peanuts in the package nor any residue (shells, etc.)--I think these pecans come from pecan orchards (nut trees) and not from the legume farmers, since peanuts are a legume/pea plant. And, there is nothing on the label to indicate that the pecans are processed in a plant that also processes peanuts. ....So, looks to me as if they're purely pecans! Anyway, they are super nuts...I baked a pecan pie for Thanksgiving that had to be the best ever, and I make a lot of pecan pies! Good luck!
