Do you know if these whole beans have been cured and dried, or are they actually raw and fresh/juicy?

The beans are hard and dried. You can grind them like a coffeebean Getting the shells off is tricky-you can grind them with the shells on in a coffee grinder, which adds a sort of nutty flavor.

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

I would think so as long as they have been kept in a dry place I've had mine for over 2 years I've kept them in mason jars though so I can see any decay and they seem to be fine and still taste fresh. I think because they are dried they have a substantial shelf life

Most dried ones are preserved with some chemical that's not really harmful. They smell and taste much better than fresh ones.

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

I have had mine longer than that and I don't notice that they are stale or 'bad'. I'm thinking b/c they are freeze-dried, they will last forever.

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.

No, they are completely raw and salt free. Very good and tasty. Good for you!!

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.

not sure what you mean by 'rehydrated'; I would describe them as typical dried fruit.

I had a batch that sprouted. I left them soaking for too long. This was almost a year ago. I got these to make tofu. I am just amateur in making tofu but I can say I haven't had any problems using these beans for this purpose.

I've had raw cashews from the farmers market and I just got cashews from Spicy World. They seem stale. I will be returning them right away. Must be just these cashews, the raw almonds I got from Spicy World were super fresh.

I ate them right out of the bag. They are dried. This was the cheapest I had found them and I am still kicking!

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.

They are whole beans, very good quality. It's a great value for the money - highly recommended.

Well, I've had mine since this time last year and it is still good. They are dried, so I expect they will keep quite a long time. The package that mine came in is resealable (zip top) so that is helpful.

Not specifically, but I don't think they are as they're very much like my home dried. I've ordered from this company directly and they're very green minded. Even the shipping beans dissolve instantly in water and their whole orientation is vegan. Everything has been of very high quality.
