I have a question about how to tell if a nut is raw... does it get sort of hard and crispy when roasted, or does it get softer? I always used to eat the roasted cashews from the supermarket but now am going with raw and organic from wholefood shop. The cashews are sold in bulk and there are two containers next to each other, one says organic roasted cashews and the other just says organic cashews, not specifying raw or roasted. I asked but the guy didn't know - I tried one and thought it was raw but I have since bought some more and they taste different so I wondering if they are swarpping/mixing raw and roasted. Any help appreciated!

Hi! I'm new to Perth (from SA) and new to raw - I've got no idea what percentage I am! I've been a strict vegan for 2 years now and I love animals. I'd love to get involved with the top secret projecty thing, whatever it may be!
