soaking nuts Skins on almonds

[Guest guest]

HI!

 

I thought blanching was bad since it involves heat. I DO know that all nuts

and seeds should be soaked before comsumption. They lose that bitter taste -

especially walnuts - and soaking them breaks down the inhibitors in them so the

body can digest them easier and get more nutrients fron the nuts. As for nut

milks, I'm still working on how that works.

I'm wondering the same thing. The almonds we can get must be processed in a

facility with peanuts because I react to them. If I blanch them, and remove the

skins, I can eat them. But what does that do to them?

 

Thanks, Susan
