    Question raw nuts a scam?

    So, the nuts sold in the store packaged (ie "diamond" brand, etc...) are sold next to "raw almonds" and they LOOK identical. The diamond brand don't say they are roasted or anything so what is the difference My husband says they are both raw so does that mean the raw nuts are just an advertising scam because all nuts are sold "raw" unless indicated as roasted? I just want clarification/ justification for spending twice as much on raw nuts!!! Thanks!

    Are you referring to shelled or unshelled nuts? The shelled nuts sold in most packaged brands in the grocery store have been heated in the shelling process.

    shelled nuts.....So, is it just a known fact that I of course didn't know that they must be heated to remove the shell? If so, how are shelled"raw nuts" shelled without heat?

    The only way you know for sure is to email the company and ask them yourself, we have done this quite a few times when we want to know the details. They always respond back.

    Check this out: It's only about cashews though...

    Plus I agree - e-mail or call the company. That way you'll know for sure. I don't buy any that don't say RAW somewhere on the packaging.

    Hi

    I E-mailed Diamond nuts Friday and asked if the nuts in shells were raw. I got a reply today that said the nuts in shells are packaged raw.
