If these are heat treated to retard growth, then how are they still nutrishish when heat kills the proteins and fatty acids in them?

Heat can kill the nutrients of seeds however if done carefully this is not the case. In order to retard growth seeds need to be kept at a certain temperature for a certain amount of time but this temperature and time are less than what it takes to kill all proteins and fatty acids. Although it is possible to retain the nutrition while stopping growth, it is a delicate balancing act that must be done properly. \ Morais D de C, Moraes EA, Dantas MI de S et al.

I would not heat them. I also put them in the fridge while I was nursing. They were wonderfully cool when I put them back on. What a relief!

Don't know I have them because of health reason not for fat content. I had them for years & love them!

You can store them in the refrigerator indefinitely (that stops the growth) or you can put them I'm a shoebox sized plastic box with wheat bran or oatmeal or even cornmeal. I keep some in the fridge and some in a box. The box ones will turn into beetles after a while

I add my supplements just before feeding. I think and believe I have read somewhere that too much heat will destroy their effectiveness. You could probably add them after cooking and mixing the food if you prepare it in bulk.

The packaging process cooks them. They cannot remain raw, and still be packaged.

It's got a number of pretty good nutrients in it. I got it because I'm on a low fat diet. They are 10g of fat, but only 1g of bad fat. And they taste so darned good! You can imagine anything with nuts is going to have protein, but it also has some calcium, fiber, iron and Vitamin E, among other things.

Using it in cooked food would destroy most of the nutrients. You're better off using it instead of ground beef.

Um, I assume that all protein powders are denatured in some way through the process of making it. If you read on their webpage though, they write the following: "Cold treated. Do NOT accept high-heat processed whey. Most whey protein is processed with very high temperatures. This can damage the delicate immune-boosting properties and amino acids naturally found in whey." In other words, the cold treatment will help to reduce the denaturing effects of isolating the whey. This is actually one of the main reasons I continue to purchase this product.

I don't know, mine are in a plastic tub. I don't think they deteriorate from the information I received from the last time I purchased them. They are harvested off the ground.

No, heating Almased, can destroy certain enzymes, changing the proteins within the product, avoid extreme temperature changes.

it can be mixed right in with wet or dry foods but it must not be heated. Heat kills the enzymes and probiotics and renders it useless.

I cannot honestly, and scientifically, answer that question. We have microwaved ours, and sent them through the dishwasher. They havesurvived just great. Whether there has been any chemical problem, I simply don't know...............sorry.

I find that the grain is slightly warm, so I would answer a little. But it by no means seems like its "cooking" it or killing nutrients if that's your concern.

Sounds like they are bad to me. You should contact the seller and/or amazon and let them know so that you can get your money back. None of the ones that I received were bitter. I tried to sprout one also, and it did not sprout. That leads me to believe that these are not truly raw. They were delicious though...

I do not believe that this product is heat sensitive. It is not a traditional pro-biotic it is actually a yeast that consumes candida yeast.

They are much like the solo brand you find in the grocery store. If the item is too hot, I suppose they could melt. I read the reviews, and none of the reviewers used them for anything hot.
