Healthy fats are easily damaged at high cooking temperatures. That\u2019s why it\u2019s always better to bake nuts and seeds at a lower temperature for longer instead of blasting them at high heat for a shorter period. Soaking nuts activates the plant enzymes making them easier for the body to digest them and extract the nutrients. Like grains, raw nuts (and especially raw seeds), contain moderate levels of phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors. Soaking the nuts and adding a little salt to the water helps break down these problematic substances that bind to minerals and can cause problems in the gut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I really like the nuts in Lidl because they taste so fresh and they come in a resealable pack. \u00a0Nuts so be crunchy and not withered and chewy and you can keep them fresh by storing them in the fridge once opened. \u00a0Polyunsaturated fats are not heat stable so even the temperature in your kitchen can cause them to spoil and go rancid!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start by soaking your nuts over night in some water and a good pinch of salt. \u00a0For some reason my cashews turned pink when I soaked them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
