Are the nuts used raw or roasted?

Doesn't specify but by the texture, appearance and taste it tastes and looks roasted. It were really raw unpasteurized and sprouted then this might be the best nut butter on the market less the high amounts of Omega 6's.

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. :)

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. About these particular nuts, I cannot comment.

i asked them the same question. They looked roasted when I opened them, but they are supposed to be raw

They are usually roasted in coconut oil, but we do sometimes use peanut oil, so please be aware if you have an allergy. We love the great taste and health benefits coconut oil provides!

They are jumbo raw peanuts and need to be cooked. I use them in my homemade peanut brittle. These are very good quality raw peanuts and a very good value.

The brazil nuts are FRESH AND RAW, not roasted. Very tasty, and I eat a few every day for the nutritional value that they provide.

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.

Honestly, I'm no expert but I've always kept tightly sealed bags in the freezer -- almonds, walnuts, pecans, pine nuts, etc. However, we don't eat raw nuts very much. I usually slow roast for snacking or use in baked goods.

Yes, they are raw. You don't need to cook them, they are great eaten raw. They are at their best eaten raw after overnight soaking in water.

They are natural. That is they are raw and not roasted or salted. They are ready to eat from the bag. Raw almonds are a little softer than roasted, but just as flavorful in my opinion.

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

Hello and thank you for asking... Our Raw Spanish Peanuts are exactly as they appear in the image provided. Shelled, Raw. Not Roasted, Not Salted and No Shells. We do carry Peanuts in the Shell, however, they are provided under a different item number and the image would show the shell. Thanks !

I just ordered this gambling that whether it was roasted or raw (was hoping for raw). It has "Roasted" printed on the back of the package. I assume this is what you mean by toasted, but either way, it is indeed Roasted.

Hello; you can use the Piteba for raw or roasted nuts & seeds. I have used mine for both raw and roasted so far, and it works like a charm. A blend of raw and roasted sunflower seeds, for example, makes a wonderful cooking oil. What matters most is the oil content of the batch of nuts or seeds you're using. There are a number of YouTube videos demo'ing this expeller with a number of different nuts/seeds, and indeed it works as advertised. Have fun!

In Brazil, Cashews nuts in natural state (raw)are highly flammable and not edible, when you set them on fire, the nut skin(very thin shell) comes off, leaving an very white mild taste, semi-soft texture ( NOT CRUNCHY) cashew nut. These nuts are not Roasted any further. The nuts you buy at the grocery store are Roasted and salted (crunchy and yellow). To conclude: these nuts ARE cooked ( very quickly by its own flammable compounds), but NOT roasted, producing a very different taste, but much more enjoyable. Pasteurized ? That's different process. so NO they are not. BTW I am Brazilian and I've seen this process being done.
