Raw Nuts
Raw nuts are unsalted, untoasted nuts used for richness, crunch, and body. Toasting happens during the recipe when heat is applied, so start with raw nuts when the source asks for them.
Identity
Raw Nuts
Untoasted nuts bring richness and brown during cooking.
Choose raw nuts when the recipe's oven or pan step is meant to toast them. Pre-toasted nuts can darken too quickly or taste overdone if they go through the full cooking time again.
