I need help please for the following food items.

I understand basically how Olives are manufactured by visiting this site [www.madehow.com] but they do not indicate which manufacture processes them without lye and just natural water and salt. Please advise as I have a strong yearning for Olives and want to make sure that I am eating them as Raw as possible.

The other item I need to ask about is beans, my local supermarket is selling chicken peas, read, black, and other various assortment of uncooked beans. This might be a dumb question but are these truly raw? I remember my dad soaking beans overnight and then boiling them the next day. Would I be able to soak them overnight, similar to sprouting, and just make a paste with them? I am pretty confused as I am still learning about this.

Lastly, my local supermarket is selling Sugar Cane sticks which I have no doubt are raw but am not sure if it is treated. Would anyone know about this?

Thanks in advance.

Olives: these are the yummiest, purest I've found: sundried peruvian olives, nice and meaty, with no salt or anything.

Love,
Uma

suagr cane is awesome. I love sugar cane juice, i want some now. yummy I live in Miami I can get some anytime. They are probably raw, you juice the sticks
