Is it whole raisins, or ground up like the rest of the ingredients?

Oh no. There are whole raisins in this product which makes it such a great purchase. If I just want to add more raisins I could but there is no real need. What's ground up is the cinnamon.

The raisins are ground up too. This stuff was terrible. I don't recommend it and I normally love almond butter and unusual health foods. It has a nasty taste and texture.

It is Almond Meal/Flour, very finely ground up almonds, almost like the consistency of flour. I use it for baking.

It is ground up well enough to mix in yogurt and is more like flakes, however it is somewhat powdery as well. Great blend.

I believe it is whole grain. I've gotten two bags from them and it is a nice rich flour with the brown flecks that indicate whole grain. :)

The box does not say "Whole Grain", it says "Rich in whole grain".

If the raisins are "Certified Organic" there cannot be ANYTHING added. It is Unsulphured. And it is a really great deal!They taste wonderful. Sorta like molasses, fresh air, & fresh red grapes. There is just something undefinably different in the taste of an organic food compared to "regular" food. Try this product---you won't be disappointed!

I just received my second order and they are the best Organic raisins I have found so far. There is naturally occurring sodium and sugars in all fruits. Try them you won't be disappointed.

The package says it is made from blanched whole almonds. I do know that Vitamin Cottage sells this product and many others from this company and they are pretty much purists in what they will sell. Package states it is all natural as well.

Amanda; I've been researching this for a few weeks, and 99% of raisins sold online or in a grocery store have "When packaging Raisins, sometimes a small amount of light vegetable oil is added to keep the raisins from clumping and sticking together. Free-flowing raisins are easier to pack. The amount of oil constitutes less than 0.10% of the product and must be listed per 100 grams of raisins."I have a friend who is a wine judge and foodie and she does not like the way that the oil affects the taste

I suspect the fresh form is better but most people will want to purchase the ground form. Easier to use and they will not have to grow it in their back yard. It may not degrade much from being ground and stored because evidently the health benefits remain after cooking. This particular brand is not as processed as some others that I have used -- it is coarser and softer and slightly moist. I have read that carrots and garlic become healthier if you dice them more finely. This may be a nice compromise between the raw root and the finely ground dry powders that I often find. This is my favorite brand so far. I want to start gardening but not waste time on turmeric as long as I can get this brand from Amazon.

Ah, so they are not whole but in pieces? I use the whole ones wherein there are also some bits and pieces in all our breads, muffins and stuffings (now that Thanksgiving is upon us). I'm also using them in fruit cakes. Last year, I reconstituted them a little in water. Then when they had received good moisture, I dried them off and added them to syrup (which was just boiled sugar). They made a pretty and sweet topping to pumpkin pie and mashed sweet potatoes. I do hope this was some help and if not, don't hesitate to ask me. A pleasure to try to answer. All best and Happy Thanksgiving.

In the USA fresh grapes are sprayed with sulfites to make them last longer. So, only certified organic raisins or the ones you grow at home do not contain sulfites. Many of us are allergic to it.

Yes it's definitely ground. I haven't open a package yet but it feels like a very fine flour.

I would agree with the others.... It is plain vinegar... I bought it to make salt and vinegar almonds... It is not as strong a vinegar taste as I would have liked... but it's good.
