raw almonds

Unprocessed tree seeds

Raw almonds are almonds that haven't been roasted, salted, or otherwise processed beyond removal from their shells.

The term distinguishes them from roasted or flavored varieties: I prefer raw almonds for baking.

In the United States, most "raw" almonds sold commercially have actually been pasteurized, though they retain the designation.
