Are pistachios considered raw?

[Izz]

Hello,

I can't remember seeing any recipes with pistachios. Are they not raw? Or do they not have much health giving properties?

I am asking because I have about 1 1/2 cups of ground pistachios sitting around I planned to use for Christmas cookies but then changed my mind and did not make any. How could I use those up in a raw recipe? Maybe in the date nut torte mixing them with walnuts? I don't know. Does that sound strange or is it worth a try?

Thanks,
Izz
