Are these truly raw (i.e. shelled by hand or are chemicals used to remove toxic part)?

I didn't know how good raw Cashews could be. I believe they are what they claim to be. They aren't salted. What toxic part?

As far as I know they are truly raw, but I cannot guarantee it, just being a customer like you.

The ones I ordered said "shelled, roasted and lightly salted" and they arrived with the shell removed. By the way they are delicious.

I am not the seller..... I am a buyer who reviewed the product. However, having had the product, I can tell you that these are NOT stale. They are RAW. Raw meaning not cooked. Not cooked meaning soft. The nuts you buy at a grocery store are roasted, which makes them crispier, harder, whatever word you'd like to use. These are RAW, as described in the product name and description. But again, this is just a review, I am not the seller.

No, they are completely raw and salt free. Very good and tasty. Good for you!!

No, it is pasteurized. I don't think there are any that can be sold as raw, unpasteurized. I've been very happy using the product.

They are not raw if they are pasteurized. So Amazon needs to be clear on this and not state they are raw or someone should sue them.

The description states there are no chemicals ever used. I did not find the words organic. I can tell you though that the fiber is left natural, no dye, no bleach. We have very sensitive skin and use these and no added softeners. No reactions from any of us with these. No smells straight from the box.

Raw. I think they would be too mushy to use after they are cooked. It worked pretty well though. Better than the little tool that you have to pull them through a bean at a time!

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

these appear to be shelled. I order the unshelled ones: they shell very easily, and contain very few duds.

yes- but be aware that they have been treated and are not 100% dried raw-spanish ones are 100% raw and untreated

They look raw to me. I bought them on few occasions and give one package to my son. He is against roasted nuts and strictly paleo, he never complained.

no they are unsalted raw. The way I like them. you can roast them if you want to.

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.

Hi, I think they are, they are made of plastic. I wash mines by hand, the label didn't say anything about, in fact, I don't remenber they have a label. Try and good luck.

I am not sure I have had dehydrated raw plaintains before, but I would say that these are definitely cooked.

Since they are in a shell I would think they are ok but maybe ask one of the natural food stores in your area.WHOLE FOODS is a good one if you have one near you!
