Nuts are good nutritious snack. However, nuts contain enzyme inhibitors that can put stress on our digestive system. To make it easier to digest and their nutrients more available, we soak our almonds, pecans, walnuts, peanuts and pine nuts in salty water for at least 7 hours. For cashews, soak no more than 6 hours. Use raw nuts of course.
After draining, we put the nuts in a warm oven less than 150 degrees for around 16-24 hrs or until dry and crispy. Turn occasionally. U know…..the resulting crispy nuts are just soooooo yummy that I wouldn’t mind the work at all!
