Enjoy this how-to video that explains how to soak and dehydrate nuts (and seeds) to neutralize anti-nutrients like phytic acid and improve the nutrition and digestibility of these foods.

I continue to surprise people with the flavor of soaked and dried nuts. Of course, we do it for the health benefits, but the flavor is amazing! People who don’t care for nuts even love them. The texture and flavor that comes out when soaked and dried is just amazing! We bring soaked and dried nuts everywhere, for snack, and I am always convincing people to try them.

I don’t have a dehydrator. How long and at what temperature do I “dehydrate” them in an oven?
Hi Jennifer! At the lowest possible temperature that your oven will (most ovens go to 200 at the lowest, but 110-120 would be awesome). Some people prop the oven door open with a wooden spoon handle. It’s all to keep the enzymes intact- if you will be primarily baking with the nuts, rather than eating them as a snack or in nut butter, then the temp doesn’t matter as much. It’s just until they are dry/crispy, and will vary based on the nut, but usually 6-8 hours or so. Hope that helps! 🙂
