Are "raw" almonds really raw?

I read different things about some pastorization law and really wonder if the almonds I buy are raw or not. Sprouting does not really work since almond sprouds do hardly look different than unsoaked ones... Re: Are "raw" almonds really raw?

To continue on that lie of thinking, why is that that most of the time when I buy in-shell nuts at the grocery they taste close to nothing? Can they be altered in some way or too old or something like it? Re: Are "raw" almonds really raw?

What about other nuts, walnuts, pistachios, sesame seeds,... Are they irridated, too? Re: Are "raw" almonds really raw?

I love those guys. They give you the option of cellulose bags and have the BEST customer service. They also sell sea vegetables and dried fruit ect. Re: Are "raw" almonds really raw?

Date: May 30, 2008 05:47PM Only almonds are under mandatory irradiation... presently. 
But if this concerns you, you might want to check out something called Codex Alimentarius (you can search the boards here for info, too), and other moves to irradiate the entire food supply. Certain nuts also have heat (above 118F) used in the shelling process, and can still be used as raw. Brazil nuts you should try to buy in shell. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
