What does RAW mean? Are these hard to swallow?

They are not hard to swallow, however they do come in a veggie capsule (looks like plastic) and you are able to open them and pour contents out if swallowing pills isn't your thing. Raw just means pure

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.

No, not at all. It is a veggie capsule, and raw means that it is pure from the fruit. I hope this helps...

These just like any other pills but don't waist your money it doesn't work.

They are Raw as stated, which means unroasted and unsalted. Just plain peanuts! Thanks for checking we do carry others as well.

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. ???

I don't know what raw is. But you do have to cook it for about 10 minutes. I have seen it at Whole Foods.

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.

You are correct. The label does not say "raw". I have assumed because it is unfiltered and uncooked that it is raw. Sorry I cannot be more helpful.

I called the company and they couldn't accurately answer the question. They didn't believe that it was raw which means it is likely heat processed. Someone was unclear about what raw meant; raw would mean that it is NOT heat processed. Heat processing can denature the protein making it unhealthy and unrecognizable as protein in your body.

They are small, hard pressed and sealed in an opaque bag. I have had the same bag for a year and they are exactly the same as when I purchased them. They have almost no taste and are easy to swallow; however, I add them to my high powered blender when making green smoothies.

They were not soft. They were more like hard raisins. I used them in my smoothies so it didn't make a difference to me.

As far as I know they are truly raw, but I cannot guarantee it, just being a customer like you.

I have the same problem, these are smaller than most vits I take, I have never gagged or choked on them. They are capsules, not hard pill, so easier for me.

I don't have trouble swallowing pills, so it's hard for me to gage. They are largish capsules, but these are liquid gel capsules, so they should go down easily.

They are considered raw, but a company spokesperson from Costco confirmed that these are pasteurized using the PPO method....that is not good....will not purchase these again.

I am not sure what you mean by "raw" in regards to this product. I don't think it's cooked. I would contact the manufacturer.

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

I would say you have to swallow. They are soft, like liquid in a gel. Not like a gummy bear.

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
