The RAW-view:

True North 100% Natural Almonds, Pistachios, Walnuts and Pecans (lightly roasted)

Where I found it:	CVS Pharmacy

Believe it nor not, I found this new-hot-product at my local CVS Pharmacy!  These 100% natural almonds, pistachios, walnuts and pecans are lightly roasted in sea salt (so not raw, but still better for you than the sugar-coated nuts you find all over the place) and very tasty.

I like the blend, because they are my favorite nuts, and I think it's a good idea to get at least a few good sources of nuts in your body daily in order to succeed in any diet.  The raw food diet does stick strictly to purely raw foods, but since I'm still transitioning with an 80% raw day, I work these in as one of my snacks (a 1/4 cup mind you).

The only complaint I have with this product would be the saltiness.  They used sea salt, which is great, but they definitely used too much.  To call the product "lightly roasted" leads the consumer to believe that it's light on salt, with flavor, not raw.  Instead, I got a very salty bag of roasted nuts...so I'm wondering where the "light" went?

If you try this product, let me know what you think.  Maybe I just got an over-salty bag, but that's hard to believe until I hear otherwise!

Before I go, I want to mention that their website is in flash - so if you have a slow connection, be cautious. 

*Rawr!* to you!
