Do all nuts feel soft and 'wet' after roasting?

[SEEING-TO-BELIEVE]

they are 'drying' when they have been cooled but until then they feel soft.....


all of them behave that way?


and why?

I'm not sure, but I think it may be the oils coming out from the heat of the roasting.

I don't find that walnuts (not blanched) or pumpkin seeds feel either wet or soft when I have toasted them on a dry skillet. They get crunchier, not softer.

I know when I roast peanuts, they get a little chewy, but once cooled off, they harden up.

I think if the nuts became " soft and 'wet' " after roasting, I'd stop roasting them.
