Raw Nuts???

[ShelShel]

Today I was feeling like something different and went to our local health food store. I found raw organic nuts. (that's what they say on them) So, for a snack I just had some almonds and cashews. Ok...something is wrong because within 15 minutes my nose filled up and I have been blowing it for two hours now. :( Could someone tell me what nuts are raw? Because after this experience I can only assume they weren't. Thanks.

Most "raw" cashews aren't truly raw -- they're usually heated to remove them from their shells. I would suggest that you try sprouting some of the nuts that you bought... if they don't sprout, they were likely heated in processing.

Thank you! I had a feeling it was the cashews! :( I haven't had them before, but since they were out of my walnuts...I thought I would give them a try. OOPS! Big mistake. :rolleyes: Thank you for that info. Much appreciated.
