Are they raw as advertised in the title and I need to cook them? Or..." Each batch of our peanuts is cooked according to a time-honored..."

I bought the peanuts to make peanut brittle and they needed to be cooked. They were the best raw peanuts I have ever bought. They were also the largest peanuts and had a delicious flavor.

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.

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.

I don't know. Label doesn't say and I do not know when peanuts ripen. But they tasted quite good.

Raw is apparently not processed, but pure. Any mixes I understand are processed.

They are not raw. Ready to go. I don't know how deep. They are very small but that was what I wanted. 1-2 bite size.

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

I was concerned at first too. But they were labeled USDA certified organic. I found the chestnuts to be consistent. Fully cooked. Stored well in fridge.

They are definately NOT roasted. When it comes to almonds there are two types of RAW. These almonds are the RAW that most people are satisfied with. They are healthy and taste great. They there is the raw that specifically states they are RAW. They cost more and don't taste as well. I don't know the process used to pasturize them, but I am very happy with these, and pecans by the same company. I see someone already answered. Yes, they are not totally raw, but not roasted or salted. They "pass" for raw for all but the most concerned purists.

Currenty they are stored and not available for me look at the package but I believe they are raw. Sorry that I'm can't more helpful but maybe you can order one bag and see for yourself. ???

I read the can thoroughly and it doesn't indicate anywhere whether the seeds are raw or roasted. Sorry I couldn't help.

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 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.

Not to my knowledge, but I do know they are very good eating, my wife parch the raw nuts in the oven at about 250 degrees and they are very tasty. She reorders everytime she runs out of the peanuts

I would be very surprised if the almonds are pasteurized as that generally involves flash heating the food (my aunt and uncle had a dairy farm when I was young, so I've seen milk pasteurization). It's possible the almonds were pasteurized, but I think raw means raw, unheated, unpasteurized. You could experiment with 'nuking' them in the microwave if you're concerned about it.

Unfortunately, I have no idea if they are raw or somewhat processed. The packaging does not say. To be safe, I would use these within a few weeks of receiving them and/or refrigerate them.

That question is best asked of LifeTime. It does not say "Raw" on packaging. HTH

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.

Note from the supplier: nuts in the shell are always raw (except dry roasted peanuts, of course). Walnuts are full of flavor this way, though!
