Are these foods considered raw? (raw food diet)?
I’m going on a raw food diet and my mom went to the store and bought some questionable foods…
-Multigrain Flax Crackers
-Roasted sunflower seeds
-Granola (it says organic cereal)
And are things that say "organic" considered appropriate for a raw food diet?
thanks!

None of them are.
A raw diet means all uncooked food.
Crackers are made of batter that has been baked. Baking is cooking.
Roasted sunflower seeds are roasted. Roasting is cooking. (Although raw sunflower seeds are available)
Granola is a little tricky. Most granola is baked.
Organic means no pesticides or herbicides were used in growing the plants used to make the food. This has nothing to do whether it is raw or not. Raw food is not necessarily organic, organic food is not necessarily raw.
Sounds like you are falling prey to rather "gimmicky" diet ideas you don’t really understand.
Anyway, if you want a raw diet, eat raw vegetables, nuts and seeds that are not "roasted" or toasted". Theoretically raw fish and beef. (Although I find most people on a raw diet are also vegetarians.)
well not really , becuse it is cooked
