are these nuts unpasteurized

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

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question. I know almonds can be labeled raw when in fact they have been pasteurized, so I always try to buy almonds produced somewhere other than the US.

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.

unheated is a way more descriptive and better term to use than unpasteurized...that's why i'm confused why it isn't used to describe the product if it actually is.

all nut flours should be kept either refrigerated or frozen (double bagged) as they will turn rancid and degrade fairly soon after opening as they are high in natural oils

No. No nuts. They are too oily. You could use the coffee grinder for them tho.

Neither.. They actually aren't salted. They are Raw almonds. No flavor at all.

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

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

Yes it is. And to store it, I placed them in gallon freezer bags, and put them in the freezer. Otherwise it will get rancid, since they are made from nuts.

Yes!! Do not buy these nuts. They also add some kind of oil without noting it on the label. Save your money

You should contact the seller. In my experience, raw nuts are never salted.

I wouldn't think so since this product does not require refigeration- however, I would not order these! I tried twice and both packages were dried out and not fresh at all.

It does not say "Roasted" anywhere on the container that I have. (I just looked). They contain peanut oil, which means they are most likely fried in it. I have learned that there are a lot shenanigans that go on in the nut industry. They taste very good though, as things fried in peanut oil normally do. :)

Almond butter is truly raw ONLY IF the almonds are UNPASTEURIZED.http://www.woodstock-foods.com/pages/productdetail.aspx?p=2693873760#showhttp://www.woodstock-foods.com/pages/productdetail.aspx?p=2693873761#show

I do not know, as I have used up all the product. They were not stale. There was nothing wrong with the taste. Hope this helps.

It does not say on the package if it is pasteurized or unpasteurized. However, I emailed them a question of my own and I got a response right away and they were very kind. teraswhey.com
