I'm still newish to raw (well, not really, I've been interested for a few years now but am once again trying to transition, hoping this time is the last!!) and was wondering if the nuts you can buy in Holland and Barrat and Julian Graves are raw or have they been heat treated?
Well - I can't speak for generally, but atm most of the almonds they are selling are sourced from the USA and have been pasturised :-( H&B are pretty sure that those from European sources are raw though (that is raw raw not raw=not roasted). Actually to look at them they are clearly different, in that the non-US ones in H&B atm still have their fluffy layer :-)
