Soaking and Dehydrating nuts
The salt and soaking make the almonds not too salty, and easier to digest. We do the same with pecans and it pulls out the slight bitterness that you expect from eating pecans. We buy one or two bags of nuts at Costco once a month and eat them as snacks all month long. I love them in muffins, breads, and cookies too.

These are okay for The Maker’s Diet phase one.

By soaking nuts in salt water, we help them to be easier to digest while also reducing bitterness and infusing them with a faint salty taste that is absolutely delicious

Ingredients

  • 1 + pounds raw almonds walnuts, cashews, etc
  • 1 tablespoon unrefined sea salt
  • filtered water to cover

Instructions

  1. To soak nuts: Place 2-3 lbs raw nuts in a large bowl (they will swell, so only fill 2/3 full, using another bowl if needed). Add 2 tablespoons sea salt and cover the nuts with filtered water. Allow to soak overnight at room temperature (on the counter). No need to cover.
  2. To dry:
  3. Drain in a colander and start dehydrating the nuts you soaked last night, or roast in a pan as low as your oven will go. Dehydrate all day.
