Activated Nuts

What are they?? Just nuts that have been soaked and slow-dried, a process that causes them to sprout (on the inside… they still just look like nuts) This process increases the nutrient value, and activates enzymes that make them easier to digest and metabolise. Any mix of healthy nuts is good. If you want to add ’oily’ nuts like cashews or macadamias, don’t soak for more than 6 hours, or they will not dry!
