how can you tell...mine say natural on them but they taste like theyre lightly roasted... without salt or anything else.
Raw peanuts taste nothing like the roasted varieties.
so...All nuts should be eaten raw... correct?
Thanks

They would say raw if they were... raw nuts don't last as long (shelf-life) so 99% of what you see on grocery shelves are not raw. You typically have to go to a specialty / health store to get them.
Roasting (heat/light/exposure) denatures EFAs so yes most would say raw nuts are the best option. Nuts aren't exactly high in EFAs but still raw is better. The cost of raw can be a bit prohibitive though. If you can't swing it, regular nuts are fine (what Costco sells, etc.).
I keep mine in zip lock bags in the freezer...that should keep them good longer right?
If they've already been heated then the damage is done...
I am talking about RAW nuts...like the ones you get out of the bins at whole foods.
