Are these considered raw (processed under 115 degrees)?

Not raw...in fact they seem like stewed prunes to me. Not dry like dried prunes, but very wet and slimy...not my choice, but my Mom loves these.

On the bucket it says raw, pure. It dose not say pasteurized which is why it would be heated. I may be warmed to make it pourable but that is not so hot to kill the good enzymes.

Yes, they are pasteurized! We are eating clean and healthy and made sure that these were raw and pasteurized before buying them! I'll be buying them from this company from now on! www.good4u.isagenix.com

In large letters on the front of the package it says: SUN DRIED AND UNSULFURED (for Black Mission Figs). Whether or not they are raw or cooked would depend on how hot the temperature was when they were sun-dried. Food is still considered raw when dried between 105-115 degrees Fahrenheit. If you go to their website, look for a contact number or email. You can ask them directly for a particular product, e.g. apricots, cherries, figs, prunes, etc.

I'm sorry, I don't remember! I finished off the bag awhile back. My best guess is, they were raw -- they weren't salted and in no way tasted roasted or baked or processed in any way. Since they're advertised as "Ruth's Raw Goodness," they're probably raw.

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

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!

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.

no they are unsalted raw. The way I like them. you can roast them if you want to.

My understanding is that they are. I have not used mine in the oven yet, but would not hesitate to do so.

I have no idea what raw means. This product came in a capsule form I did not find them hard to swallow but they did not work for me.

I wouldn't recommend trying, even with a whole 10 pack. They are hot to the touch, but no where near hot enough to safely cook raw meat.

Currenty they are stored and not available for me look at the package but I believe they are raw. Sorry that I'm can't more helpful but maybe you can order one bag and see for yourself. ???

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