WHY SOAK?
Almonds, walnuts, brazil nuts and pumpkin seeds soaked for an hour or two in filtered water with the good salt added 🙂
Soaking nuts changes the game… from basically a hard to digest food to a buttery explosion of flavor. Soaking wakens them up, brings them alive -literally. with any REAL fresh food, eat within a couple of days as they will go off, so soak in small quantities and enjoy with a coconut glaze and a sprinkle of the good salt!
Soaking nuts, grains and beans work to break down irritating compounds so you can actually digest them, while preserving the beneficial fats and proteins.
Many traditional cultures prepared these food staples using seawater and the sun, passing this knowledge down through generations.
Soaking profoundly increases the bioavailability of important nutrients (notably the treasured B vitamins) and activates helpful enzymes that increase nutrient absorption!

Do you have Celiac disease or are you grain sensitive?
Celiac disease causes inflammation in the gut as well as uncomfortable and often painful bloating. A small percentage of the population have this condition.
But more often than not, if you are having trouble digesting nuts, beans or gluten it is usually because of one or both of the following reasons:
- The grains have been genetically modified or laden with chemicals and pesticides.
- You are sensitive to the enzyme inhibitors. The answer is make sure the grains you buy are clean and organic. And then SOAK them to release the enzyme inhibitors so you can digest their natural goodness!                              And that’s it in a nutshell my friends! Pardon the pun 🙂
