Are these cashews pasteurized?
1855984
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.

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.

All almonds grown in the USA are pasteurized, even the only panic ones, unless they are sold from a "roadside stand" or from Spain and now I'm hearing China. I'm not familiar with Spain's farming regulations are but China I have to question.

I do not remember . Might have been some vegetable oil. Cashews seemed oilier.

I always eat raw cashews. They are much better for you and no salt. I eat a 1/2 cup almost every day and I never want to be without them. They are nice whole nuts. I do store in the freezer to keep them fresh.

I just received my cashews, and they are rancid. I have had raw cashews before and they smell nothing like this. I thought maybe it was just an odd smell, and I ground them and used them in a recipe (as I have in the past with other raw cashews) and it made us all horribly sick. Do not eat them. I have tried contacting Amazon but have not heard anything yet.

I checked my three jars of honey, and none of them have a "PASTEURIZED" label. I still think it is just Raw, Unpasteurized honey.

Yes, they were fresh. I liked them but they are very sticky. I tried both the fruit & nut and the coconut ones.

No, they were raw. Very hight quality. You can roast them or use them in stir fries etc. About 30% less than grocery brands and much higher quality

why would you throw them out rather than return them???...amazon guarantees you get what you pay for..and fishy cachews are not acceptable. I bought the cashew pieces to eat raw and they are very good..in smell and taste.

There is no indication on the jar that the almonds are pasteurized. It is a Raw Almond Butter. The manufacturer will have to answer this one I'm afraid.

I can answer the last question: they seem very fresh to me. The taste and texture are excellent. These cashews are far superior to the cashews my health food store carries. And the ones in "bins" are just awful.

These are raw, unsalted. Quite tasty. They are more healthy for you raw. Many nuts are roasted using unhealthy oils.

"Pastuerized" is not on the package anywhere. As the process of pasteurization is about heating a liquid to kill microbes, and this is powdered milk, I'm not sure when that would happen. I am guessing, no.

There's nothing to indicate otherwise on the bottle. It's not raw though and I assume it's been pasteurized -- it takes a long time for it to crystallize. But you can tell they haven't strained out the pollens, like the stuff from China does, from the taste.
