are they these olives raw?

All olives for eating have to be processed to remove bitterness. Look up olive production and processing.

No..All are ready to eat..You can certainly add olive oil, spice mix (dried red pepper, dried thyme flakes etc) and lemon at the time of serving though..Enjoy!

raw, they are just packaged in a slight brine(vinegar and oil which is very nice). These are the best olives out there for the money. Just received another shipment on them yesterday. Definetly not cooked. They still have the pits, but I perfer olives as they should be.

Cured, not cooked I believe. Exactly how cured, I'm not sure. They are good olives, we eat a lot of them.

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.

Yes when they come down from the tree but after being in the brine with fresh herbs and olive oil/vinegar mix, they're pickled

These olives are cured and are ready to eat. Very good and you can add your own oil & spice mixture to taste.

Yes they are raw unsalted. Recommendation is to refrigerate after opening also.

That question is best asked of LifeTime. It does not say "Raw" on packaging. HTH

I think it would be difficult to distinguish as they are dried to a fuit leather consistancy, which is what helps to preserve them. All the ones I have purchased taste very good whether I eay them as is or rehydrate for a recipe. This batch has lasted me several months and I can taste no discernable difference.

I would be very surprised if the almonds are pasteurized as that generally involves flash heating the food (my aunt and uncle had a dairy farm when I was young, so I've seen milk pasteurization). It's possible the almonds were pasteurized, but I think raw means raw, unheated, unpasteurized. You could experiment with 'nuking' them in the microwave if you're concerned about it.

I would check w/ the vendor but I dont think so... I believe they are sourced as raw (unprocessed) California almonds

Yes it's totally raw. Have bought from many places and this is the best for both quality and price, hands down.

No, I don't believe they've been heated, they seem to be raw just like a raw nut.

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- but be aware that they have been treated and are not 100% dried raw-spanish ones are 100% raw and untreated

They're olives... packed in brine... and the jar maintains a seal to keep air out, so they don't need refrigeration. That is why there is no expiration date. I don't bother to refrigerate them until I'm near the end and it's no longer worth keeping in such a large container. At that point, about 3 months later, I put them in a sealed Rubbermaid container, still covered with the brine, and put them in the fridge.

I am pretty sure they aren't. They were very stale tasting and dark colored, not like fresh pecans.

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

Don't know. Didn't put them in the oven but I would assume they are,they're copper. I wouldn't advise picking them up right away with your bare hands.

I've eaten them and no longer have the bag oh course. As I recall they are dry roasted - no oil and I don't believe any salt either.

These are shelled. I recommend that you divide them up and store in separate bags since they are raw.

I am not sure if its raw, the package does not say so and I do not know how to tell. The package says 100% ground sesame..not toasted or anything. But, I like it very much for making hummus!
