Date: March 27, 2013 03:00AM Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum and raw foods and I've been reading a lot about how you should soak and dehydrate nuts and seeds and grains because otherwise they are not good for digesting and harmful to your health. Is this absolutely necessary? Do a lot of people here do it? I honestly don't think I'd have the time/energy to worry about that right now... Is taking enzymes enough to aid in digesting them properly? Any feedback would be very much appreciated.. thank you!  Re: soaking and dehydrating nuts and seeds

Date: March 27, 2013 03:14AM I don't believe in dehydrating nuts but they should be soaked for the appropriate time. Soaking nuts is very easy. No, enzymes are not enough and are too expensive in my opinion. Soaking nuts takes less time than cooking meat! If you soak enough for the day then it is very time efficient!

You can put them on your salad in a tupperware bowel and take to work, simple. It really helps to have high quality nuts but do what you can that's just how it is. I have had the pleasure to eat some really good nuts over the years! but not so much these days. Some are still good though. Re: soaking and dehydrating nuts and seeds

Date: March 27, 2013 09:20PM do they get bigger? i tried soaking some last night and the cashews turned a different color but nothing really happened with the other nuts, is that normal? in the videos i've seen about soaking nuts they're apparently supposed to grow bigger in size. i put some salt in the wwater bc i read that's what you should do. does this only work if the nut is truly raw and not pasturized or anything?
