Are Larabars considered a "raw" food?

I'm not certain, but believe they would be considered raw as they appear to be a simple mixture of nuts and fruit.

Yes, they are. I don't know if all of them are, but the ones I've enjoyed are raw. Visit the Larabar Website and see the "Raw Diet" portion. http://www.larabar.com/about/special-diets

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

No, I don't believe they are. The medjools I buy when I get to a Costco are usually much larger. However, these are great dates for making homemade larabars!

No, they were raw. Very hight quality. You can roast them or use them in stir fries etc. About 30% less than grocery brands and much higher quality

They say that they are raw and they can't be raw if pasturized because that involves high temperatures which would cook them.

by law, California almonds have to be flash pasteurized. this means they are technically not raw, but the inside of the nut supposedly does not get "cooked" in this process.

I had to look that up. :) Yes, this is not raw. It has been expanded/exfoliated. At least according to what I read at duper mining site.

Unfortunately, I have no idea if they are raw or somewhat processed. The packaging does not say. To be safe, I would use these within a few weeks of receiving them and/or refrigerate them.

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.

I'd say they're raw - but I use them in fruitcake and do not roast them prior to use. I also eat them from the pantry - they're delicious.

I'm not sure but I don't think it's considered raw. The issue with this brand for me is that it tastes really, really bad.....

Hi. Certain these are not blanched or soaked almonds. Believe they are simply raw and temp controlled when ground. Quite tasty.

If that is a brand name, no, I don't see that name anywhere. They are a raw food, and they come from Mexico.

Raw but likely they have been irradiated which kills them and the enzymes. Thanks to a law the FDA passed a year or so ago to supposedly protect us :-(

These are raw cut almonds with no added salt or sugar. I just toast them to add to the salads and hot oatmeal cereals. Delicious!
