Nuts are extremely nutritious food if prepared properly, nuts are best soaked or partially sprouted before eaten. This is because nuts contain numerous enzyme inhibitors tha can put a real strain on the digestive mechanism if consumed in excess. Nuts are easier to digest and their nutrients more readily available if soaked in sea salt water over night, then dried in a warm oven.
