Soaking raw nuts and seeds stimulates the process of
germination, which increases the vitamin C, B, and carotenes (pre-vitamin A)
content. It may also neutralize phytic acid, a substance present in the bran of
all grains and seeds that can inhibit some absorption of calcium, magnesium,
iron, copper, and zinc. Raw nuts and seeds also contain enzyme inhibitors that
are neutralized by germination.
If you choose to soak your nuts and seeds, please follow these
general guidelines:
Getting
ready: Use raw,
preferably organic, nuts and seeds. Make enough for three days only. Use a
glass or stainless steel bowl or jar (plastics may contain toxins). Rinse
your nuts or seeds (purified or distilled water is generally
preferred). Soak them: Place your nuts and seeds in in the bowl
or jar and then cover it with something breathable, like a towel or
pantyhose. Let them soak according to the following schedule (all times
approximate). Almonds,
germination time 8 - 12 hours at room temperature Cashews, whole,
germination time 2 - 2 1/2 hours at room temperature Sesame seeds,
germination time 8 hours at room temperature Sunflower seeds,
germination time 2 hours at room temperature Walnuts,
germination time 4 hours at room temperature All other nuts,
germination time 6-24 hours at room temperature Over the course of the soaking, drain and rinse the nuts or
seeds two (2) or three (3). Each time you do this, make sure you rinse
them until the water drains clear. This is especially important with nuts
and seeds that soak for longer amounts of time. Afterwards : After you've soaked them, you may want
to do a final rinse with grapefruit seed extract or organic apple cider
vinegar, as these can will clean them of bacteria without being absorbed.
You now have germinated nuts and seeds! You're ready to eat them. You can
store the leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three (3) days. If the idea of soaking
your nuts and seeds seems too time-consuming an endeavor for you, don't
worry - many nutrients cannot be heated out of foods, like protein, vitamin E,
and fiber, which are found in ample quantities inside nuts and seeds of all
kinds, both cooked and uncooked.
