Is this brand of Almonds raw?

Question

I am a beginning raw foodist and I want to know if the Diamond Of California brand of almonds are raw. I bought these at Sam's Club. Here's a link of the picture so you can see what exactly I am talking about. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h283/nayomiee0116/almonds.jpg

PLEASE HELP!!! And if they aren't raw, how do I soak them to make them raw. Please help! THANKS! :)

Answer 1

Due to the USDA all american almonds are heat treated. Once something is no longer raw, it can't go back.

Answer 2

If they have been roasted, soaking them isn't going to change them.

Looked at the link that you provided and didn't see anything on the package that states that they are roasted - which would have to be on the package somewhere if they were.

As it looks just from that photo - they would appear to be raw.  BUT - you also might want to take a look at the link below for something that you might find interesting if your thinking of going totally raw.

Answer 3

SunOrganic Farms has organic almonds.

The Diamond of California brand almonds 'are' listed as "natural Almonds"
