hello
Does anyone know if the nuts and seeds at Holland and Barrett are heat treated? irradiated? or with any chemicals to extend shelf life?
I have emailed them twice and they will not reply to my questions. I presume this means they do something to the nuts and seeds but will not say.
i have been watching lots of videos on soaking nuts to remove the enzyme inhibitors, but if the nuts have been heated then they may possibly be damaged and certainly not 100 percent raw.
thanks for help.

Get a few and try sprouting them (nuts too). If they won't sprout, avoid them.

i would bet my bottom dollar that they arent raw, and probably mass produced but i believe the company well in the UK anyway that supply there food now is neals yard for there nuts, dates, seeds products.
Might be worth a bash getting in contact with these guys.
