Are these raw or have they been previously steamed?

All of the Bob's Red Mill Oats I have bought have been un-cooked and un-steamed. You are really best off contacting them directly, though ... they will respond to questions in a timely manner.

They are uncooked. I soak them over night and cook them the next morning. Or you can put them in a crockpot over night.

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

In my experience they are the most "unwashed" and freshest I have been able to find so far. There's not really a full proof method to check but usually the darker the water you wash them in, the better the seeds are.

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 moist. No indication on the packaging that they are pH balanced and/or hypoallergenic

They are dried and they are very good. I use them in risotto a lot. Reconstitute very easily in hot water.

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.

They are totally raw and not salted or roasted! You will have to rusts them yourself!

They each are in an individually wrapped package, and I assume they are sterilized, or at least they appear to be pre sterilized to me. I use them to skin dead animals, so I am not so concerned about it, but I think they are.

they are not in shell. they are rather tasteless and not fresh enough for me to order again. I considered returning them.

I don't know for sure. It seems to me they were not steamed. They were soft. And good!

No, they're completely raw -- uncooked, unsalted. I like to roast them with a bit of sea salt but they don't come with anything but the nut.

They are not raw if they are pasteurized. So Amazon needs to be clear on this and not state they are raw or someone should sue them.

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.

Yes, they are well preserved. Not all dried out and nasty and hotter than hell!!!

Raw. Never tried them cooked. Have to feed them in one or two at a time. I'm sure they could be cooked-though harder to handle, and messier.

They're probably not, just a guess. If they aren't kept refrigerated there's a good chance they are very stale.
