HOW TO SOAK SEEDS & NUTS + WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT

[@CanadaTK]

What I do is that I transfer the nuts and seeds onto paper plates or paper bowels that are not lined in plastic and put those in the fridge. The plates in the fridge absorb the left over moisture and the nuts and seeds stay well for over a week.

[@sariss7203]

Thank youu!! No way I'm drying them in the oven

[@user-ev4ie2wx7k]

Wouldn’t mind a paper bowel myself…

In India most people know this as in Ayurveda its common knowledge to have soaked overnight nuts.. specially almonds, raisins n walnuts. However it also depends on yr body type (again according to Ayurveda we have 3) n how many u eating.. so if its just a few cashews, it's ok to eat as is..

[@jamiedenneboom8482]

Health is not common knowlexge, they dont want you to be healthy because then pharma isnt necessary 😅

[@kenfordbody4lyfefitness]

Nuts and seed are extremely hard on the digestion system, even though you may not actively feel that. I would never eat a nut or a seed without soaking them. No one ever mentions "how much water it takes to bola potatoes, or pasta' LOL Most people put down things without ever doing a OUNCE of research themselves lol

I honestly believe ppl are having issues because they are not using proper food combing. Eat nuts on an empty stomach and don’t eat anything until digested for 3 hours. Any eat only organic.

[@yes0r787]

The video didn't mention this; must the nuts be raw to gain benefits through soaking?

[@lpcookie1]

I would think so, as roasted nuts have had their nutrients destroyed from the heat anyway, so there would be no benefit to soaking them.

[@tyrese5089]

Yes. The nuts or seeds should be raw.

[@GoldwaterB]

You left your oven on overnight, while you slept??? Not wise.

[@MeMorebyKellyNahama]

I did at the lowest heat 😬

@@MeMorebyKellyNahama If you leave an electric oven on, it could lead to a fire. If you leave a gas oven on it could lead to a fire and carbon monoxide poisoning.

[@deanVodkahouse]

I tried this with a quarter of Chia seeds left in a cup of water overnight, I used a cheese cloth but the seeds are so small that its just a drip and any water that goes out the seeds go with it so I was left with nothing so is there no way of soaking ground/milled seeds ?

[@alexb.3741]

Kelly, I have a question, if you can answer it. I'm diagnosed with celiac (gluten intolerance). I don't buy nuts and seeds if the package is not labeled as gluten free. So, can soaking help to clean nuts, seeds or grains, like green buckwheat and millet, from gluten? I know, they don't contain gluten by definition, but they could have been packed in the environment not free of gluten. Thank you in advance. Alex

[@MeMorebyKellyNahama]

I’m really not sure I’m qualified to answer this especially as you are celiac. Sorry 😣

[@ckbond41]

Alex B, If you want to cure your Celiac disease, I would recommend you read *"Wheat Belly Total Health".* It will solve all your problems.

[@geraldinenoval2547]

hello. 🙂if that is roasted already, u don't need to soak them?

[@phillipsedillos6355]

I read that if nuts float in water they may be bad or rancid? I bought 1lb of raw organic walnuts and they all floated. Are they bad?

[@MeMorebyKellyNahama]

I wish I could help Phillip. I’m really not sure. Maybe do some research on it 👍

[@davidsheriff9274]

If I am going to be putting the activated nuts in the food processor to make nut butter, should I dehydrate them first, or can I just throw the wet ones into the processor? Will the butter be different if I grind the nuts wet as opposed to dry?

[@MeMorebyKellyNahama]

When I made my almond nut milk (video on KZbin) I soaked the almonds over night and blended the morning after. I did not dehydrate. I would think it would be the same with butter. Maybe do a quick search to be sure David 👍

While you remove most anti-nutrients when you peel off the skin, you also remove a lot of the good stuff, most of the micronutrients. The same with grains. Hence soaking and sprouting (which reduces anti-nutrient content while boosting nutrients) is usually a better option.
