Stupid question. But does "unprocessed" equate "raw"? What's the highest temp it had undergone?

I'm assuming they are "raw" I'm not sure what highest degree they have been in...on the contained it says to store in a dark cool place. I personally keep mine in the fridge.

I refridgerate it. But it still ended up tasting like fish. I don't know about the processing of this stuff. I've decided to use it up and try other brands, perhaps more local.

I'm not sure to both questions. I keep it on the shelf in a cool, dry place.

I do believe so. I keep it refrigerated once opened. It probably has been up to 70 degrees when closed.

I agree with the other posters - it's all about the temperature you are exposing it to. As long as it stays under the rated temp (392), you're good to go. Going over that temp will ruin the thermometer (I know, I've done it not once, but TWICE). If you want a high-heat thermometer, check out thermoworks.com, but they are very expensive :(

It is a raw food with living properties, as such its efficacy is severely compromised with that time line. Except if frozen ( which you didn't specify whether what compartment it was stored in ) which changes the scenario considerably. But at a two year mark in the lower normal refrigeratiion compartment its efficacy is diminished at best, if nonexistent. Food is not a museum piece, especially raw food. It is designed to be consumed as soon as possible, not retained for excessive lengths of time.

I had to look that up. :) Yes, this is not raw. It has been expanded/exfoliated. At least according to what I read at duper mining site.

I put mine in the freezer overnight and it gave a good reading. Then I left it out on the cupboard to check it for accuracy and it came up to the furnace's room temperature to the exact degree. So then I put it in the 'frig. That seemed to take a little longer - a day or so. I'm very happy!

unheated is a way more descriptive and better term to use than unpasteurized...that's why i'm confused why it isn't used to describe the product if it actually is.

I'm sorry. I actually don't know. I really use it more in its raw uncooked state. You can ask the company. They answer questions quickly.

I don't know what raw is. But you do have to cook it for about 10 minutes. I have seen it at Whole Foods.

Ask if the almonds are 100% "unprocessed", that's the key word. As to answering the question, there is no way to know the truth unless you follow the seed from the tree to your mouth. http:// www .organicpastures.com/ raw-almond-expose. html

I would suggest internet searching about dehydrating temps. I know that if you want raw food to retain all of it's enzymes, you should use heat over 150-115 degrees. If that is not an issue for you, it would probably depend on what it is you are dehydrating. I would definitely look for info on the internet.

you would need to ask the company. I cannot think of a recipe needing temps higher than 500 degrees.......at least none I use

I'll throw in my $0.02. If the objective is to avoid any nutritional loss, then the answer is anything above 105 degrees. Raw food vegetarians know that number by heart as they do dry a lot of foods. Destruction of enzymes starts above 105 degrees. The answer for the maximum temperature for cold pressing foods is 120 degrees, because above that temperature, oils begin to lose their flavor, nutritional value, and aroma. To play it safe, manufacturing companies of cold press products try to do so in temperatures several degrees lower than 120.

I don't know. But I do love this piece and use it a lot. Have never used it at that high of a temp. I would call Lodge and ask.

Yes, it is raw. If it is cooked, it will loose its resistance starch properties & cause blood sugar to go up.

Hi Tony, the packet label states +/- 2°F between 50°F to 86°F. For me the relative accuracy between comparative readings is sufficient. I hope this helps. Cheers, Ken

I wish I knew, I am sorry that I don't. I have not exposed it to extreme heat, but I did wash it in my dishwasher on the top rack without a problem. Other than that, it has been in and out of the fridge without a problem.
