Rice Paper Wrappers: Raw or Not Raw that is the question??

[Julie]

I am very new to Raw Foodism and I was wondering if anyone considers rice paper wrappers raw?? Rice paper wrappers are made by grinding rice to powder adding water then spreading it very thin to dry. Since the rice is never cooked that makes it raw, right??

as a matter of fact i had the same question myself...so i looked into it. from what i can gather, the rice is heated above cooking temperatures at one point during the process, hence cooked...unfortunately.

somehow, though, this doesn't seem to stop me from eating them!!!

if anyone knows any differently, please let me know.
thanks
