Thanks for the information. I have recently heard about soaking and it was, of course, a new concept to me! Your clear explanation is appreciated. What is your opinion on oats? If soaked will they just be a sludge mush, which cannot be drained?? You have a lovely healthy glow, which backs up what you explain. 😊
Oh you are so nice! thanks for this kind comment. I think that soaking oats is a great idea! There are so many different kinds of oats, so I wonder if you are using instant oats or whole rolled oats? If you are trying to make granola I think using rolled oats is best, I would suggest soaking them for a few hours (or overnight) in a jar and then draining out the excess water in by tipping the jar over with a sieve to separate the liquid from the oats. Then you can roast them on a cookie sheet in the oven or just make oatmeal with them, your choice!
I am a big fan of grinding seeds IF they are first soaked and toasted. I love making pesto with pumpkin seeds (the green ones aka pepitas). I agree that grinding seeds helps the body to better absorb their nutrients and if they are also soaked previously, even better!!
@@cathytilford388 Chia is a bit different than the other seeds, for some reason it isn't necessary to strain out the gel. As long as you soak it the seeds previously you are good to go!
