Hi Virginia, So leave them out. Or pick other nuts. I buy them labelled "raw." I think you're right, because I assume that conventional shelling methods for cashews includes some heating. However, they aren't crispy and tan, like the ones in toasted nut mixes. They're soft and pale. So I call them raw, because that is how they are labeled.
