Organic, Raw, Soaked Nuts and Seeds
Phytate Free Nuts and Seeds!!!
Nuts
just by themselves are very healthy and nutritious. Some people
have been hesitant to eat nuts, thinking that because they
are high in fat, they may cause obesity. This concern was
looked at in the Adventist health study. They found that nuts
provide satiety or satisfaction to a meal and that those who
frequently ate nuts were actually more lean than those who
didn't eat nuts.
There is no better snack or easier way to add extra nutrition,
flavor and crunch to a meal than by adding a handful of nuts.
Nuts are an extremely nutritious food if properly prepared.
Traditional people always soaked or partially sprouted their
seed and nuts before they were eaten. This is because nuts
contain numerous enzyme inhibitors that can put a real strain
on the digestive mechanism if consumed in excess. Nuts are
easier to digest and their nutrients are more readily available
if they are first soaked overnight in water and then dried. This method imitates the Aztec practice of
soaking pumpkin and squash seeds and drying them in the
sun before eating whole or grinding them into a meal. Soaking
the nuts and seeds in water neutralizes the enzyme inhibitors
and can increase the vitamin and mineral content.
Soaking nuts and seeds stimulates the process of germination,
not only increasing the vitamin C content, but also increasing
Vitamin B content and carotenes (pre-vitamin A). Most importantly,
this soaking neutralizes phytic acid, a substance present
in the bran of all grains and seeds that inhibits absorption
of calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and zinc. Soaking also
neutralizes enzyme inhibitors present in all seeds. These
inhibitors can neutralize our own precious enzymes in the
digestive tract. Complex sugars responsible for intestinal
gas are broken down from soaking and a portion of the starch
in the seed is transformed into simpler sugars. Aflotoxins
(potent carcinogens found in grains) are inactivated. Finally,
numerous enzymes that help digestion are produced during the
germination process.
Our nuts and seeds are soaked first, which stimulates the process of germination, increases the vitamin C content, and increases the Vitamin B content and carotenes (pre-vitamin A). Most importantly, this soaking neutralizes phytic acid, a substance present in the bran of all grains and seeds that inhibits absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and zinc. Soaking also neutralizes enzyme inhibitors present in all seeds. These inhibitors can neutralize our own precious enzymes in the digestive tract.
