I live in Queensland, Australia, and I have a macadamia nut tree in the backyard which produced hundreds (maybe thousands) of macadamia nuts this season. The macadamia nut is also known as the Queensland nut as they originate from here. There is a countrywide glut of macadamias so the prices have fallen lately, I love them.

@@annakon8423 It’s great you’re doing your part to help allow people to continue to survive in their homes. But it’s likely to become harder and harder to do. As the city loses tens of thousands of productive people and businesses to those confiscatory taxes and fees and regulatory policies, they are trying to make up the loss by raising taxes and fees further. Politicians and regulators are generally obtuse and disengaged about such stuff and think short-term, if they think at all. Mega-corporations can afford those taxes & fees and, in fact, they serve as a financial “moat” - to use Warren Buffet’s term - and prevent competition from smaller potential competitors. That’s also why they (& unions) support minimum wage increases & the idea of “a living wage”, not because they give a crap about the people on the bottom rung of the ladder, but because it prevents small businesses from competing with them. Another moat. Generally, such policies get worse and worse, before they completely break down. NYC is a great city, it’s sad to see what’s happening, but I think it’ll have to get a lot worse before things improve, because the gov’t is so busy making things worse, trashing the police, encouraging crime, catering to the corporate behemoths, and generally trying to sound visionary while stumbling around blindly screwing stuff up. When it gets bad enough, unsafe enough, the big chains and corporate headquarters will leave -- as they are now doing in the once-great, once beautiful San Francisco -- and there will go the bulk of their revenue.

Thanks so much Thomas, for your insights and deep dives into nutrition and fitness research. Love your channel. For those who can (thanks for the comment by Dragon insight), if you have a small mill that will grind grains and a dehydrator, grind a tablespoon raw (must be raw) rye berries (high phytase levels in raw rye will help degrade phytic acid) and soak with about 1.5 gallons warm water with 1-3 lbs. raw (steam pasteurized here in USA in most cases) walnuts, hazelnuts, or other nuts high in phytic acid for about 24 hours, then drain, rinse and dehydrate at the lowest temperature that is safe for your region. This protocol may apply to other nuts and to steam processed rolled grain products as well. This will degrade the phytic acid content to some degree and doesn't require sprout-able nuts/seeds. Roasting can also be done to further degrade phytic acid but has the negative effect of oxidation of the fat in nuts (carcinogen). Phytic acid in almonds seems to be best degraded by quick roasting in a hot oven for a short time as much of the phytic acid resides in the almond skin and seems not degrade by the phytase in fresh rye flour. Of course slip skinned almonds or flour are lower in phytic acid due to skins being removed but also reduces nutrient content. Alternatively if almond skins are slipped and saved they could be roasted to reduce phytic acid and used in recipes. Here is a link to some information on phytase and it's role in reduction of phytic acid: www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/vegetarianism-and-plant-foods/living-with-phytic-acid/#gsc.tab=0 There is some evidence to suggest that eliminating all phytic acid is not necessarily the best for optimal health. I'm just another guy (barely) on the internet so what do I know? So do your own research and all the best to you all on your pursuit of health and well being. I should also mention that rye is not a gluten free food. Also when soaking keep your container in a warm place as the enzymatic process will work better and phytic acid will degrade more quickly. Be sure to dehydrate until nuts have a nice crunchy texture. They can be kept in the freezer after dehydrating to extend shelf life. Salt and/or other seasoning can be added just before dehydrating if desired.

Man, I feel like you always leave out sprouted pepitas ( pumpkin seeds without shells) which one could argue is even better than macadamia nuts, high fat, high protein, low carb, tons of minerals like zinc and magnesium (some of the most important for working out), and the phytic acid anti nutrients are lowered when they are sprouted.

I definitely get enough protein (probably too much on some days) but I struggle with trying to incorporate more fats. I do like and eat cheese, but I just can’t add butter to stuff just to get more fat in.

I just see a lot of keto channels that make butter bites, add butter to their coffee, etc….and I have a hard time doing that since I rarely ever ate butter before all of this.

I generally eat Almonds, Brazil nuts, walnuts, and pecans. Also, for the almonds and brazil nuts, after I dry them I roast them with Himalayan salt to get them nice and crunchy.

The issue with heating high fat foods is that they form AGEs which cause damage in the body. Also (if you heat them for long enough you'll risk forming acrylamide) Also heating can destroy some of the heat sensitive micronutrients and anti oxidants. I'd suggest if you really want to roast them, keep the temperature low and slow. Sprouting reduces anti-nutrients a little but the research shows mixed results.

I never buy any kind of nuts anymore. They are incomplete proteins, and to me nuts are so unsatisfying the temptation to over consume them is just too great. The juice here, to me, is just not worth the squeeze. Nuts do have a thinning effect, though. They make the wallet very thin very fast.

To remove the phytic acid from nuts, soak them overnight. Add good sugar, sea salt and spices to taste. Spread them out on a pan and let them dry out for a day or two.

Why didn't Thomas go to the plain nuts section like there usually is in the bakery section of a grocery store? I haven't checked the ingredients there but that's where I'd start - or have a part 2 - opening and ending part 1 - this video - with "this is the prepared / processed snack food nut section" first and we'll go to what's supposed to be the plain nut section after this.

Thomas, phytic acid is good because it regulates iron and calcium, which is too high in the Western diet because of high meat consumption, is too high in most people. Phytic acid targets cancer and can reduce atherosclerosis. More good than bad. Low income and 3rd world countries it may be an issue because they lack high quality protein with minerals. Also, the high phosphorous helps produce cellular energy (ATP)

I don’t think we are meant to consume and digest nuts so I stay away from all except macadamia nuts because of the phytic acid and om6. But I’ll buy raw organic, soak them for a few days and the roast them myself. Then also use them to make macadamia nut butter with coconut and sea salt.

@billk9583 Год назад

Thomas, any time you mention almonds, please add the caveat for my fellow kidney stone formers that they are high in oxalate. Though I have had kidney stones somewhat regularly over the last 15 years, somehow the possibility that they might have been exacerbated by the almonds I've been eating regularly had escaped me until recently. So, since I can't justify buying macadamia nuts at the typical prices, it looks like pecans are my only sensible choice, which are my all-round favorite anyway, especially when I roast them, and sometimes season them. Thanks!
