Good video! 👍🏼 -what difference does it make by putting salt or just plain water? -after soaking almonds, the peels are to be removed, or consumed? -what are other options, if I do not have a dehydrator?
-Salt breaks down the enzymes faster. -Peeling them would be recommended as they contain a enzyme that isnt good for digestion. -You can use an oven but you'll have to look up instructions for temperature and time.
Why salt? Wouldn't salt disturb sprouting process as it is poison in larger amounts? Unless it removes antinutrients not through sprouting. There is probably a difference if the nuts are raw or heated.
I just want to eat one Brazil nut a day for health reasons so last night I soaked one in a cup w water and no salt and left it there over night. This morning I took it out of the water and ate it. Hopefully I’m doing something right.
Does soaking overnight make Brazilian nuts soft? I want to mix Brazilian nuts with Cottage Cheese but my nut grinder just broke. Which turns out to be good thing, otherwise I wouldn't get to know why soaking is necessary.
oven but sometimes they don't go low enuf to dry them out u can get them cheap at Walmart ect or on some 2nd hand selling sites quite cheaply I recommend a temp control on them though
A quick question for you, realfoodwholehealth, if you ever see this post & are inclined to answer: does this soaking process rid the nuts and seeds (I'm especially interested in cashews, I suppose almonds and Brazil nuts, too) of oxalic acid as well? And does, say, double or triple soaking remove such anti-nutrients even more & that without depleting the nutrient content? I've been hearing for a while about avoiding gluten & soy & I avoid both, but I've also been hearing a lot now about oxalic acid & how many vegetables, fruits, nuts, & seeds its in & about how it's bad for the kidneys, especially those who are or may be inclined to developing kidney stones. If there are ways to remove or lessen it & considerably, I would love that, especially for cashews! 👍
I just bought organic almonds, and pumpkin seeds from the local health store. They were in the fridge so thats where I'm keeping them now. Does this soaking business apply to mine aswell? Thank you:-)
as a single person, i do only a handful at a time for about 30- 60 minutes i change the water often and do not need a dehydrator nor do i need to add salt. really you should take nuts sparingly because of the fat content so a handful is enough
You only soak raw. Cooked nuts do not have phytic acid. Useless to soak these since she is applying heat anyway. Phytic acid is getting a bad rap. It helps against cancers diabetes and heart disease.
Careful about letting dogs eat nuts. Most are not good for them, and some are toxic! weloveourdogs.hubpages.com/hub/10-Things-Not-to-Feed-Your-Dog-for-Good-Dog-Health
@@mhaas281 salt isn’t good for you. Sure it’s not the worst thing in the world but it’s certainly not a health food. If you want electrolytes you’re better off getting them from fruits
@@TimmyTheSnailtable salt iodised is bad for you as it is processed and stripped of nutrients. Sea salts others are beneficial. You need salt in your fluid, ie sweat. Water only will cause cramps
