nuts and seeds are very dry, soaking them so they absorb lots of water makes them much more digestable. it also begins the sprouting cycle, where the seed starts to grow into a plant. the nutritional value can increase greatly during sprouting.
some people soak things to wash away the enzyme inhibitors on them in the belief that those inhibitors will interfer with digestion, this is a mistaken belief however.
sprouting seeds to grow baby greens is an excellent source of inexpensive, nutrient dense green food.
