raw nuts/seeds?

ofthesea

i usually purchase my nuts and seeds from trader joe's, and they say raw on the package, but i am starting to be extremely skeptical that anything they sell is in fact 100% raw. same with walnuts, sunflower seeds, and pecans, which i buy at a more generic grocery store that says raw. do i simply stop eating nuts and seeds except when purchased online, or is there a way to know? if someone could please shed some light on this i'd be very grateful.

Yeah, walnuts and hazelnuts and pine nuts are normally rally raw if labeled so. Also there have been comments on here about TJ's almonds 'sprouting', even though they are assumedly "pasturized" for federal regulations.
