Go Soak Your Nuts

Why bother soaking your raw seeds and nuts before eating them?
 Try it, you might like it!
 Eat a handful of raw unsoaked nuts and check in with your stomach in 1/2 an hour. Then soak the same kind of nuts over night, and eat the same amount. It takes 20 minutes for our brains to register that we have eaten. So in a 1/2 hour I can tell which nuts digested easier and lighter. 
By removing the enzyme inhibitors and other natural nut protections, we can eat and digest nuts much easier. The nut is transformed from a nut to a vegetable. Everything comes alive and we benefit from the miracle of life.
 Just add water.

If you look closely you can see the jars have nuts in water. Look at the stuff that comes off the nuts and clouds the water. Yukk !

 Nuts and seeds contain protein and when you put them in water bacteria can grow so treat them with respect and keep them refrigerated after soaking.

1.Put 1/4 cup raw nuts in a jar and fill couple inches over the nuts with clean water.
2.Set the jar on the counter overnight.
3.In the morning you will have dirty looking water like in this picture.
4.Drain out the water and rinse and inspect the nuts.
5.Any nut that isn't looking right, toss.
Now you have washed off the enzyme inhibitors and natural deterrents nuts and seeds have for their own protection.
6. Store the jar of rinsed and drained nuts in the refrigerator uncovered and rinse once daily and eat from the fridge. They must be kept under refrigeration and inspected and smelled before eating. They are good for about three to five days.
The cold storage gives them a delicious crunch.
Other nuts good to soak are filberts, almonds, cashews, and pecans.

 I add soaked nuts and seeds to green drinks or fruit smoothies for a complete protein drink . They add great taste and crunch to salads, or stir fry vegetables.

Dry the nuts and seeds after soaking then, they can be carried without refrigeration dried.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of what nuts and seeds can do for us!
