Overcome Your Gut + Digestive Issues With Ancestral Nutrition
How To Soak And Roast Nuts And Seeds
Nuts and seeds are known for being difficult to digest and hard on your gut, but you can change that!
Anti-nutrients like lectins and phytic acid are the reason nuts and seeds are so hard on your gut, but when you soak them for at least 7 hours, you significantly reduce the anti-nutrients and make them way more gut friendly!
And if you don’t want to eat soggy nuts, not to worry. You can then roast your nuts and seeds in the oven or a dehydrator at a low temperature to dry them out again!
This recipe walks you through exactly how to prepare your nuts and seeds properly by soaking then roasting them! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

How To Soak And Roast Nuts And Seeds
Soak nuts or seeds in water for 7-24 hours. If using cashews only soak for 1-3 hours. Make sure they're fully submerged in water and your bowl or tupperware is covered. You can leave them on the counter for soaking, no need to refrigerate.
Then rinse and drain the nuts or seeds. It’s a good idea to remove any fibrous dark skins (like on almonds) after soaking. Optional to go on to sprout them now, but you don't have to. I don't have experience with sprouting so if you'd like to do that you'll have to look it up elsewhere.
Then roast in the oven on the lowest setting you can, I use 15o degrees Fahrenheit, for 12-24 hours to thoroughly dry nuts or seeds. Make sure to stir every few hours. Alternatively you could use a dehydrator.
Once nuts or seeds are thoroughly dry, let cool, and transfer to a jar. Enjoy with meals or just to eat!
