WHY is it essential to soak nuts before consumption?
Soaking is a simple and effective way to get all the nutrients from nuts. When in contact with water, the kernel is saturated with moisture, which activates enzymes and changes its composition. It increases the number of vitamins and antioxidants.
And these substances become available to the human body, as phytic acid passes into the water during soaking. The removal of phytic acid improves the absorption of nut pulp in the intestines, prevents unpleasant consequences in the form of bloating and increased gas formation.
