How can an expeller-pressed product be considered raw?
60225
Cold-pressed oils are oils made by first grinding nuts, seeds, fruits or vegetables (depending on the oil being made) into a paste. Then an oil stone or other tool is used to press the paste which forces the oil to separate out. Many labels use the term cold-pressed, but they aren't all considered raw and suitable for a truly 100% raw food diet. To be raw, the oil cannot be heated above 115F. Some manufacturers will heat up the paste in order to extract more oil. This alters not only the nutritional value of the food, but also the color and flavor. The only way to know for sure if an oil is truly raw is to contact the manufacturer directly.

The EFA may be raw but it may also be processed differently. It depends on the brand you are referring to.

I'm not sure about "raw" but the label classifies it as Virgin...Also says it was cold-pressed and unrefined and can be used in cooking, (and according to label, better than butter on bread, vegetable or popcorn.) I use it for skin care, hair care and and sometimes use it when shaving my legs.

That question is best asked of LifeTime. It does not say "Raw" on packaging. HTH

Yes it's totally raw. Have bought from many places and this is the best for both quality and price, hands down.

I am not sure what you mean by "raw" in regards to this product. I don't think it's cooked. I would contact the manufacturer.

A much better way to make oils is by expeller pressing. This is a chemical-free process in which the nut or seed is compressed to force the oil out mechanically. During the process, friction is generated which can sometimes generate too much heat for some more delicate oils like olive oil. This is where the term "cold pressed" comes in. All cold pressed oils are actually expeller pressed oils, it's just that the expeller pressing is done under controlled, cooler temperatures. No where on the label on the bottle do I see refined. There is a statement that says cold pressed and hexane free.Refined oils have been processed to remove impurities, making them more stable, especially for higher-temperature cooking. Since this is not an oil for cooking I assume its just cold pressed because refined and cold pressed don't go together and would deplete nutrients. Since this is pretty pure almond oil and is cold pressed it only has a 3 to 4 year shelf life. I use it for massaging.

Exactly. I don't think we can be assured of authenticity. Is it even legal to repackage a product and represent it as the original? If I were the Haribo company (or any other vendor this happens to), I would not be happy.

the ones i get from Amazon are steamed , blanched or pasteurized and are allowed to be labeled raw-pure raw is illegal to be sold unless purchased directly from farms -see Sunfood or Bremmer Foods being sold directly from the farm in Calif -Almonds from abroad can be sold totally pure raw and health food stores and some whole food super markets carry them

I'd say cold pressed. The color and scent is very light for castor oil. I love mine, its a wonderful hydrator . My wood working husband likes it to for his dry hands.

Since it is not labeled "raw", I would assume that it is not raw and has been processed in some way.

This is not boiled with driers added. It is considered raw, can't speak to the fatty acid issue. I have used it with bare hands and it is defiantly not irritating.

No, they were raw. Very hight quality. You can roast them or use them in stir fries etc. About 30% less than grocery brands and much higher quality
