The extract is definitely NOT raw and is not in a natural state

(depending on how strict you are). The bean may or may not be raw,

depending on how hot it is heated in the drying process, but it is at

least in a more natural state. Personally, I prefer the whole bean

and usually scrape the seeds out, sometimes tossing the whole bean in

the blender.
