Raisins?

If raisins have palm oil used as a glazing agent, does that mean its is still raw?

Or is the oil processed?

I don't know about the raisins being raw but the oil probably is not. I would not buy those.

If it does not say raw, it's probably not raw. They process a lot of the palm oil. I would not buy those either, NO WAY.

The best quality dried fruit has and needs no additives. Avoid added oils and sulfites.

All oils are processed. They are not whole foods, and as Doug Graham says they are empty calories, just fats extracted from their source's full complement of nutrients.

Good luck finding raw raisins that don't cost an arm and a leg. I get these Paul Newman's organics through Amazon, if you do Subscribe & Save (free) they're only $17.64 for about 6 pounds and ship free (Subscribe & Save is sweet you can cancel a shipment or request a new one at any time. No obligations)

I read somewhere online where someone reported that they contacted Newmans and they said they're dried at pretty low temperatures, like usually sun-dried, or worst case scenario in a mechanical dryer of 115 degrees. Good enough for me. I'm trying to lay off the dried fruit but they're good cheap calories.
