Are they made through dehydration vs. cooking, and would they be suitable for raw food diet (prepared at less than 145 degrees)?

It doesn't say how they are made you would have to ask the folks at Julian Bakery. Somewhere along the line I'm guessing they have to be cooked but to what degree I don't know. They are very thin. I liken the texture to fruit leather but without all the sugar and they do have a bit of a coconut taste and they are all organic. I hope this helps.

My understanding is that they use low heat to dry the beans, but they don't roast them. They are raw because they haven't been cooked.

Since they are for cooked food, I would not expect them to provide adequate protection above 200-210 deg. F

From the answers I've read it seems you can and they are safe up to 500 degrees (wouldn't try 500 degrees myself), but they are a very sturdy, well made set and cook and clean up VERY WELL!!!

They are raw and not prepared at all, so it depends on what you put in them. I prepare about a pound at a time by rinsing in cold water, then toss with a tablespoon of olive oil, a bit of sugar and salt, and roast on a cookie sheet. My wife can't eat gluten or corn, and does fine with them.

I put them in a 450 degree oven and they are fine. Of course there's a funny smell and they look a little crinkled coming out (just kidding). Anyway, I'm gathering they are silicone. Pizza is intended to be cooked on pretty high heat and it is described as a pizza pan.

Can you look at your order? It should tell you if you ordered the dehydrated ones or not. I would also think there would be instructions on how to rehydrate them too. Mine are not a bright white either and have an amber hue. If they are soft and squishy I would say they aren't dehydrated. Follow the directions enclosed with the package and you'll have plump little water kefirs in no time. I wouldn't postpone putting them in the sugar water though, they need to be fed.

We've made some more complex recipes like dehydrated chili and so forth. You might want to get a thermometer for it if you need an exact temperature, but we're really happy with it. What sorts of recipes are you planning to make?

Great questions....I doubt it due to being dehydrated and to keep anything dried bio active you have to do it at a very low temperature and I'm not sure you can dehydrate raw milk at the low temperature necessary....for me I just throw it into raw milk to up the protein intake. As I can't be sure, you might want to contact the producer.

I like keeping things raw too. I would not, however, recommend this particular product for making things like raw crackers or bread, because there is not enough air flow to dry the goods. For this, and making marvelous Kale chips and all my dehydrated backpacking foods, I use an Excalibur with 9 trays. The Excalibur allows me to dehydrate at temps that keep the enzymes live. Hope this helps!

I eat them raw or I put them in the oven (30 minutes at 350F) but I think you could also steam them.

They cant go in the oven. They seem to do fine with stove top heat. I think they say 500 degrees. They mainly warn you not to go from hot to cold quickly. Ive had the them 6month+ and use them often and the nonstick still works.

I don't bake with them - I use them in green shakes and added to yogurt and salads, but I understand that you can use them in the same recipes that call for chopped walnuts or pine nuts. I read that you shouldn't bake them at a temperature in excess of 350 F as that can harm the beneficial oils in the hemp seed.

Yes you can cook them and let them air dry to be crunchy or let them cook less time and they will be a little more chewy.

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.

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.

I sure wish someone would answer R. Shim's question about Garden of Life "Raw"ness I too am assuming not heated but would like to know also if acid-processed or merely dried or???
