Determining if something is really raw

xbillyx

How do you all determine if foods are really raw? It seems like there’s so much to look out for and I’m trying to incorporate more truly raw foods into my diet. For example, I found out about “raw” cashews and oats and got frustrated.

What about other foods I buy at my co-op? Flax seeds, dates, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc.

What is okay to buy that should always be raw and what should I be careful with?

Any help would be appreciated.
