I'm soaking walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds in distilled water with a generous splash of cyder vinegar and a tablespoon of salt. After watching this I think I need to leave out of the fridge to germinate. I'm going to make healthier chocolate bars (organic cocoa butter and powder) and sweeten with maple syrup. I'm just going to do it by eye. I was a chef for 25 years, so I think it'll work.
OMG! HOW any people do this soaking business, specially NUTS!. Thank you very much for the comprehensible video. Why naturopaths don't inform patients about this.
i thought. phytic. acid was a molecule that plants used to hold minerals so when u consume it they also start attaching minerals of the other food thats in ur stomach like fruit and veggies, so alot of minerals and vit's are lot without people knowing it, it's good to see this info is spreading. Alooot of people never heard about it when i tell em about it. It"s also bad for ur bones to consume diary cuz the phosphor/calcium balance isn't correct (in spinach and brocolli it always is). Iv'e read about it in a book about tooth decay years ago. 2 much phytic acid and sugar are big causes. Grains also contain loads of this stuff so that i just avoid. To speed up the proces of breaking it down it helps to add something acidic in the water like lemon juice or vinegar (thats why SOURdough bread contains hardly any phytic acid, the dough is left to rest longer to break the PA down, its all about activating phytase which breaks it down. Roasting nuts also decreases the phytic acid so i soak and roast afterwards. There are lists only of the amounts of PA in specific foods and how long u need to soak. A good trick to get alot of nutrients is to eat 1 meal a day which contains alot of vits and minerals but absolutely nothing with PA in it (almost all complex carbs contain it)
@inphinite zero I like what you said, but it's just the opposite with the PA. PA is actually protection for the plant itself to keep predators off them. Like animals, plants don't want to be eaten so PA is their defense, and it blocks our enzymes and causes leaky gut. One other thing to be cautious of is that spinach is not a really healthy food due to its high levels of acid. Do your research. Just like carrots are mostly starch. All the foods have been turned into starch due to hybridization and genetic engineering. The veggies are so starchy that you never need to eat another piece of bread in any form. Grapes with no seeds is forced on us as a healthy food but they have no nutritional value because the seed is gone. You are on the right path. This video helped me get better digestion. Thanks for sharing your information as well. Great job.
Except spinach has a high amount of self-defence chemicals (Oxalates) which generally cause you not to thrive and are terrible if you suffer from Gout. So much to learn no wonder everyone isn’t well.
I have been suffering from bone density loss especially in my teeth and I was eating nuts and seeds EVERYDAY. I love hemp seeds especially! I needed to see this! Thank u!!
@@vikramchoudhary5938 I was NOT SOAKING and because I wasn't, I had bone density loss. I haven't been eating many nuts or seeds lately. Mainly green veggies and fruit now. My teeth are much better now. I also add about three tablespoon of organic ghee to my veggies
@@itsjustme5620 ghee help nutrient absorption and you don’t need a lot of nuts and seeds. I find that when I don’t soak them they pass whole. That means I absorbed none of it so if that’s what I ate that day I might as well have not eaten
@@deestrings8552 Yes. Seeds and nuts are meant to bind to minerals so the seed can grow. And that's exactly what they do when they're inside the body. I am making my way towards having multiple green juices everyday to replenish my minerals
@@itsjustme5620 that's honestly what I just discovered... when I ate raw cashews I noticed my skin is dry and I just look depleted and malnourished...they are literally sucking life out of us...went to the dentist recently and was informed of bone loss and was shocked and didn't understand why
What is the longest you can soak seeds, legumes, nuts for without them going bad. And does soaking make them lose some of their nutrients into the water?
1) Should the water ,in which the nuts were soaked, be drunk ? 2) I have read that soaked almond needs to be peeled off before eating. As the peel would release tanins in our body. Is it true ?
Most of the nutrients that make almond famous are found in the peel. It also acts as prebiotic fibre. I think the soaking gets rid of most of the tannins as these are water soluble but tannins are not all bad. Change the water a few times during soaking to maximise antinutrient removal. Try to consume soaked almonds and its products with green foods like spinach and brocolli for better nutrient assimilation.
Thanks, very informative and well explained. I still have question - should the water after soaking be thrown away? Conflicting information on google regarding using or throw away the water.
@Luke. Very important information. We knew that we need to soak nuts. But never understood 'why' Rice. (And lentils) Do we need to soak it for 7/8 hours. I assume 'yes'.
Why is that- the Red Squirrel,the Gray Squirrel,the Southern Flying Squirrel,the Least Chipmunk they’re all eating varieties of nuts without water in Autumn and they are all healthy,they are certainly very beautiful.
Now i knew the reason. Thanks 🙏 Edit: Subscribing to your channel for the helpful information you provided with reason. I think every dry things should also be soaked before cooking, which will give a life force to it, thus to us.
I think the flatulence is because the digestion process . I started to blanch for 5 minutes in boiling water in big mason jar with mason jar screen lid . Drain and blend for 30 to 60 seconds and drink warm . Haven’t had the usual extreme gas pain as had before .
Does soaking overnight make Brazilian nuts soft? I want to mix Brazilian nuts with Cottage Cheese but my nut grinder just broke. Which turns out to be good thing, otherwise I wouldn't get to know why soaking is necessary.
You say that the nuts contain toxins to help them for their survival. So soaking them would help them to germinate. But what happens to the toxins already present in them? will it get absorbed by the water used to soak the nuts? Have you checked whether the nuts become toxin free after soaking them a few hours in water?
Look at Dr. Berg video on GERD/heartburn.. you need more scids in your stomach to reverse it.. I've been taking betaine hydrochloride and apple cider vinegar tablets before meals which have helped increase my acidic levels in the stomach n haven't had heartburn since, Dr. Berg explains it all
Thank you for the info. Please suggest if water in which we soak seeds can be consumed? A viral video on Instagram showing people soak it overnight, grind with the same water and consume. Is it right to do? Please reply 🙏
How long should each nut be soaked for? Also at what temp should they then be roasted for? I consume a lot of chia seeds, should I be soaking them as well? Thanks
If I buy a big pack of walnuts for example, we don't soak them all right? only what il consume the next day? cuz cant have wet nuts sitting for extended periods I assume. Also never thought about grains but I have oats every day too.. the instant kind. How to soak them
What about just roasting them isn’t it enough ? and why producers don’t prepare them the right way they could wash and dry them easily in big factories. Why nobody cares of people health
@@rohithkumar3480 yes better to peel of the skin...it contains anti nutrient- phytic acid that prevents absorption of nutrients p.s. i m a nutrition science student
Minimally, but getting rid of nutrients inhibitors like phytic acid & tannings is essential, otherwise most of the good substances shall bind with the inhibitors prohibiting the small intestines from absorbing them!

How lucky to be a skillful brilliant chef God bless you i wish i were like you
cacao also contains quite the amount of phytic acid, u can lookup lists of all things containing it
May I ask why adding cheer vinegar and salt is beneficial
Best explanation I've heard. Researched so much and no one has explained it like this. Thank you!!

Luke u r the best and really raw and clear.
Ahh, this was much needed. Thank you for sharing 👍
What is the longest you can soak seeds, legumes, nuts for without them going bad. And does soaking make them lose some of their nutrients into the water?
No idea but they taste soggy tissue paper after
I love the way you explain. Thank you.
I just purchased 5lb bags of roasted almonds and roasted cashews. Should I still soak them before eating them?
Thanks a lot Luke for clearing this out!👍
You're welcome😊🙏
Aye! TISS podcast got the same intro music! 🤩
paishe OP
This was much needed for me to understand y we r being asked to soak nuts... thanks!!
Thanks for bringing this wonderful Informative video to us.
Can you soak them and then roast them back up again so they are crunchy again?
Thank you Luke! Very informative indeed!
Hope you are having an amazing holiday with family and friends!! 😊
What about flax seed? Usually its supposed to be dry roasted before eating.
People on here soaking nuts while 90percent are eating empty carbs and sugar living till 90. With arthritis and Alzheimer’s but still
Could be genes and dna
1) Should the water ,in which the nuts were soaked, be drunk ?
2) I have read that soaked almond needs to be peeled off before eating. As the peel would release tanins in our body. Is it true ?
Throw away the water & yes peel the outer skin.
Most of the nutrients that make almond famous are found in the peel. It also acts as prebiotic fibre. I think the soaking gets rid of most of the tannins as these are water soluble but tannins are not all bad. Change the water a few times during soaking to maximise antinutrient removal. Try to consume soaked almonds and its products with green foods like spinach and brocolli for better nutrient assimilation.
@@pera06 no the skins stay during soaking unless you remove them
thank you ,,,,,,very benifacial your every video,,,,Specially your topic about Gut its very kundness for us,,,bcz iv a gut issue for many years
Awesome information about soaking grains, seeds & nuts!🤗
Luke sir, what if I were to make flour out of it?
1 soak them
2 dry them
3 then make four
Is that the way?
Yes right👏👏👏👏
Also, when I soak grains like oatmeal or millet, the grains just absorb the water. So how does this eliminate the phytic acid?
Thank you Luke! Wonderful help! ❤️
Great information and presentation. Thank you!
Wonderfully explained. God Bless you
👍Thank you so much for this very informative video. 🙏
You say soaked. But don’t you have to drain off the water after soaking?
Can we freeze soaked nuts to ease to process of daily consumption?
Thanks, very informative and well explained. I still have question - should the water after soaking be thrown away? Conflicting information on google regarding using or throw away the water.
Yes u need to throw them or u could throw water into plants
It is a very helpful video, thank you, sir.
Should we soak walnuts and pumpkin seeds too?
This is super helpful and insightful. Keep up the good work ❤️
Greetings: King, I truly appreciate you so much! You are telling us the “Raw True”. You got that right…. Stay blissful and Stay Safe As Well…💚✅🔋👆🏾..
@Luke.
Very important information. We knew that we need to soak nuts. But never understood 'why'
Rice. (And lentils) Do we need to soak it for 7/8 hours. I assume 'yes'.
Grinding before soaking is even more beneficial. Its easy to look all this up if
You need to fact check
Why is that- the Red Squirrel,the Gray Squirrel,the Southern Flying Squirrel,the Least Chipmunk they’re all eating varieties of nuts without water in Autumn and they are all healthy,they are certainly very beautiful.
I think its the same as why cow can get healthy only consuming grass....they have different digestive system.
Now i knew the reason. Thanks 🙏
Edit: Subscribing to your channel for the helpful information you provided with reason. I think every dry things should also be soaked before cooking, which will give a life force to it, thus to us.
thank you for sharing this with us 💞
Thanks Luke 👍 please tell can we soak the nuts and seeds together in one container?
Thank you Luke.
Can I soak broccoli and cabbage as well in the raw to prevent flatulence?
I think the flatulence is because the digestion process . I started to blanch for 5 minutes in boiling water in big mason jar with mason jar screen lid . Drain and blend for 30 to 60 seconds and drink warm . Haven’t had the usual extreme gas pain as had before .
Do u suggest consuming soaking seeds(pumpkin/flax/chia)or having them in roasted form?
Yes would like to know about this as well.
don't soke just roast them
@@aryangupta9913 why not eat them raw?
I make dry fruits laddoo for my kids with ghee. I don't soak the nuts to make it. Is it ok?
Very nice knowledge,thanks
Very informative - thank you 🙏🏾
Does soaking overnight make Brazilian nuts soft? I want to mix Brazilian nuts with Cottage Cheese but my nut grinder just broke. Which turns out to be good thing, otherwise I wouldn't get to know why soaking is necessary.
Yes it will make them soft.. you can use a dehydrator to get the moisture out, roasting at high levels can take the nutrients out
Thank you for sharing 🙏
So we should buy raw nuts and soak them?
Can I drink the water that was used to soaking? I think, some of the nutrients will be left behind?
You say that the nuts contain toxins to help them for their survival. So soaking them would help them to germinate. But what happens to the toxins already present in them? will it get absorbed by the water used to soak the nuts? Have you checked whether the nuts become toxin free after soaking them a few hours in water?
Thank you. What about when we make nut butters?
Thanks Luke 🙏🙏
What about packaged bread? Should I soak my packaged bread before eating them or is that done at the factory?
If I am going to soak sunflower seeds to grind to powder, how do I dry them afterwards before I grind?
To all those asking about seeds - 6:10
Hii Luke.. i would be grateful if you can make a video on GERD and how to manage it.. love and respect..
Look at Dr. Berg video on GERD/heartburn.. you need more scids in your stomach to reverse it.. I've been taking betaine hydrochloride and apple cider vinegar tablets before meals which have helped increase my acidic levels in the stomach n haven't had heartburn since, Dr. Berg explains it all

knowledge enhancing
Beautiful info.
Is it better to soak rice and lentils before cooking them?And Can we throw nuts and seeds soaking water or we should drink that soaked water?
It is not only soaking, but 1-2 day germinate is recommended.
Sir please tell does cashew nuts may cause allergy and itching
Can i eat soaked nuts daily basis, and how much i will eat?
Thanks for making this
does it apply only to newly harvest nuts or even to roasted nuts also?
That's what I want to know since I'm sure the best of the nutrition is gone if they're cooked with excessive heat???
Yes more people should know this!
Can we drink the water where nuts are soaked?
how do we dry them?
Well i never ! many thanks for the info !
We are told to soak resin overnight and eat the resin and drink the water also. Your opinion please.
Interesting is that jaggi vasudev mentioned alao such stuff about nits almonds and peanuts etc
But should we remove the brown skin of soaked almonds?
I am soaking Cashews, Almonds, raisins, Walnuts 5 each. That's my breakfast with an organic shake
Thank you for the info. Please suggest if water in which we soak seeds can be consumed? A viral video on Instagram showing people soak it overnight, grind with the same water and consume. Is it right to do?
Please reply 🙏
Same doubt, tell me if u find an authentic answer
@@ravalikonduru4894 I tried with water and my lips became dry and allergic too. I don't think one should consume that water
Are nuts like walnuts which have a hard shell be effective without soaking?
Point
But i think he's not replying to any questions
How long should each nut be soaked for? Also at what temp should they then be roasted for? I consume a lot of chia seeds, should I be soaking them as well? Thanks
soak them overnight...also its fistful of nuts and seeds that are always recommended
Do we also have to soak rice?
If I buy a big pack of walnuts for example, we don't soak them all right? only what il consume the next day? cuz cant have wet nuts sitting for extended periods I assume. Also never thought about grains but I have oats every day too.. the instant kind. How to soak them
Hi doctor luke can you do a video on breathing exercise
Because of covid
What about just roasting them isn’t it enough ? and why producers don’t prepare them the right way they could wash and dry them easily in big factories. Why nobody cares of people health
Maybe they are washed is there any way to find out if they are washed.?
💲💲💲💰evil people
Great video
Thanks
Should we peel almonds before eating?
What if I buy them already sprouted ??? Anything I need to do before eating them ?
Thank you
Please advise on pistas
What about nuts that have been roasted but not soaked in water ? Are they safe ?Does roasting destroy phytonutrients?
How do we soak grains? Does resting the dough for an hour or so mean soaking grain?
But I prefer roasted nuts. Can I roast nuts after soaking them or can I just soak the roasted nuts?
same question about roasted nuts..
I boil almonds, should I do that? should I stop?
What if you soak more than 10 hours? Is it alright?
Wash all nuts seeds as they have a toxic acid around them and dry after a day then use
Store bought seeds as well?
Do we need to drink the water in which that nuts are soaked or can we throw them ??
Hello after soaking with what associate nuts for better absorption of the nutriments
Luke, there's one more doubt many people have-Is it necessary to peel off the skin of almonds after soaking?
No❤💕
No, since there's some vit E those peels
@@arjungupta2687 i have also read that skin of almonds contains tannins which interfere with the absorption of some minerals.
@@rohithkumar3480 yes better to peel of the skin...it contains anti nutrient- phytic acid that prevents absorption of nutrients

Thx Luke 🙏 God Bless!
Is it possible good substances will also be washed away along with bad substances after soaking nuts in the water?
Minimally, but getting rid of nutrients inhibitors like phytic acid & tannings is essential, otherwise most of the good substances shall bind with the inhibitors prohibiting the small intestines from absorbing them!
How about roasted nuts can b consumed as such like in trail mix.
I soaked nuts and then stored them and mold grew on them. So I guess you only soak what you’re gonna eat the next day
