Are these 'RAW' Mediterranean Pine Nuts? Thank you.

Yes mine were. The were shipped perfectly, much superior to Chinese pine nuts.

They are partially roasted, which means some are roasted (almonds) and some are not (brazil nuts). Of course, that was the case for the one that I received. Different sellers might have different mixes.

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.

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.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question. I know almonds can be labeled raw when in fact they have been pasteurized, so I always try to buy almonds produced somewhere other than the US.

The pine nuts come from China and packaged in the States. I think you would be better off asking this question from the organization that certified them as USDA organic. The company name is QAI. Or better yet, ask the question from Now Foods. I don't really care about them being organic. I purchase them for what they are, the quality of the product and more importantly the cost.

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

I am not positive, but if the package or jar says "raw" I assume it is unpasteurized. An article I once read said that California's law demands that all nuts grown in the state are pasteurized, even organic. Apparently, this process reduces some nutrients. If you ever contact Woodstock and ask the company your question directly, we purists would like to know the answer you receive! Thank you!

Ask if the almonds are 100% "unprocessed", that's the key word. As to answering the question, there is no way to know the truth unless you follow the seed from the tree to your mouth.http:// www .organicpastures.com/ raw-almond-expose. html

Their packaging says all-natural but doesn't mention organic. Their website (justins dot com, under initiatives) says they can't source organic nuts at this time.

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.

Hello,The nuts you mentioned are imported from oversea. We have to ask the importer to check the facility information. Thanks,

They are raw peanuts OUT of the shell. I've ordered them twice and always they've been out of the shell.

They are Raw as stated, which means unroasted and unsalted. Just plain peanuts! Thanks for checking we do carry others as well.

raw, they are just packaged in a slight brine(vinegar and oil which is very nice). These are the best olives out there for the money. Just received another shipment on them yesterday. Definetly not cooked. They still have the pits, but I perfer olives as they should be.

Yes, they're gluten free. They're packaged in a facility that handles other tree nuts.
