The best way to eat nuts and seeds and gain the nutritious benefits is to eat them soaked and dehydrated<\/strong>.\u00a0 You can soak and dehydrate walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, almonds and sesame seeds. Always purchase raw, unsalted nuts and seeds. Soak them overnight<\/strong> in filtered water. Optionally add 1T sea salt per 2 cups of nuts. Dehydrate<\/strong> them for at least 8-15 hours. Dehydrate them using a dehydrator or on a baking sheet in an oven set at the lowest temperature your oven will go ie. around 100 degrees F (and no more than 150 degrees).\u00a0 Smaller nuts and seeds dehydrate in less time \u2013 a good test is the bite-test and they should no longer be soft and soggy<\/strong>. Soaking and dehydrating can also be done before grinding nuts and seeds for nut butters. If you don\u2019t dehydrate your nuts and seeds, you can still get the benefits of soaking \u2013 but they must be eaten immediately to avoid spoiling. Dehydrating makes them last longer \u2013 and imparts a delicious buttery flavor.<\/strong><\/p>\n
