What I do is that I transfer the nuts and seeds onto paper plates or paper bowels that are not lined in plastic and put those in the fridge. The plates in the fridge absorb the left over moisture and the nuts and seeds stay well for over a week.
Nuts and seed are extremely hard on the digestion system, even though you may not actively feel that. I would never eat a nut or a seed without soaking them. No one ever mentions "how much water it takes to bola potatoes, or pasta' LOL Most people put down things without ever doing a OUNCE of research themselves lol
As I become more self sufficient I learn that almost everything we know is a lie or way short of the whole story. This keeps the big shots in business. .
In India most people know this as in Ayurveda its common knowledge to have soaked overnight nuts.. specially almonds, raisins n walnuts. However it also depends on yr body type (again according to Ayurveda we have 3) n how many u eating.. so if its just a few cashews, it's ok to eat as is..
I honestly believe ppl are having issues because they are not using proper food combing. Eat nuts on an empty stomach and don’t eat anything until digested for 3 hours. Any eat only organic.
@@fam4060 no she said soak them overnight then leave them in the oven on low heat for 12-24 hours. That does imply sleeping with your oven on, which can be a serious danger even at low heat. The original post was correct, don’t spread misinformation
Nice video Enjoyed your presentation Question …. Can we soak the different varieties together rather than separately ??? Also …. If we just let them dry on a paper towel rather than the oven or dehydrator?? Hope you will reply Nice video Thx so much
@@MeMorebyKellyNahama If you leave an electric oven on, it could lead to a fire. If you leave a gas oven on it could lead to a fire and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Kelly, I have a question, if you can answer it. I'm diagnosed with celiac (gluten intolerance). I don't buy nuts and seeds if the package is not labeled as gluten free. So, can soaking help to clean nuts, seeds or grains, like green buckwheat and millet, from gluten? I know, they don't contain gluten by definition, but they could have been packed in the environment not free of gluten. Thank you in advance. Alex
Dr Berg does not tell you how much salt and lemon juice for a cup of seeds and nuts. How much salt do you use for a cup of seeds and nuts, and also why are you not using lemon juice as recommended by Dr. Berg? I want to make cashew milk.
I tried this with a quarter of Chia seeds left in a cup of water overnight, I used a cheese cloth but the seeds are so small that its just a drip and any water that goes out the seeds go with it so I was left with nothing so is there no way of soaking ground/milled seeds ?
If I am going to be putting the activated nuts in the food processor to make nut butter, should I dehydrate them first, or can I just throw the wet ones into the processor? Will the butter be different if I grind the nuts wet as opposed to dry?
When I made my almond nut milk (video on TH-cam) I soaked the almonds over night and blended the morning after. I did not dehydrate. I would think it would be the same with butter. Maybe do a quick search to be sure David 👍
@@threetruths123 the answer is yes. You’ll find all the info you need here: stellinamarfa.com/spices/is-it-necessary-to-soak-sesame-seeds/ Hope that helps 🙏
Do you have to use filter water or can you just use bottled water instead of tap water? Do you have to roast them or can you leave them dry in fridge ? Thanks x
Your video doesn't say If this process is for any nuts or only raw nuts. Please specify? I have a couple bags of roasted Brazil nuts, I don't want to waste them.
It seems that we cannot anymore enjoy any foods normally 🤔we need to wash veggies and fruit by soaking them for 2 hrs in water and soda, before consuming, now we also need to soak nuts and seeds, wow... I can't just grab an apple spontaneously any more, or some almonds.. Prewash, preheat, what is the next step??
@@MeMorebyKellyNahama exactly, this is what I meant too, when we were kids, it was enough to wash fruit etc. And now we have to soak everything for 2 hrs before eating..
I do. Soak for 24 hours , changing water three times...filtered water. After that i dry them on some clean tea towels , then put in freezer bags and freeze.
Hi there, yes there is. If you look in the description (I also refer to the Dr Berg in this video), there is a link to a video by Dr Berg which explains the reason for this process in depth. I hope that helps 👍
@@MeMorebyKellyNahama thanks for your reply! unfortunately, dr. berg is not credible enough person as he's not a "real doctor", just a chiropractor. he doesn't bring up any scientific evidence and makes no reference to any kind of research to back up his claims, which is what i'm looking for. so for me it looks like the need to soak nuts is just a widespread myth, but at least it's a harmless one. thanks again and have a good day!
Hello so sorry, we’re in lockdown here in London so life is busy with three children at three different schools - homeschooling 🤯 So yes I covered them with a tea towel definitely put something over them 👍
While you remove most anti-nutrients when you peel off the skin, you also remove a lot of the good stuff, most of the micronutrients. The same with grains. Hence soaking and sprouting (which reduces anti-nutrient content while boosting nutrients) is usually a better option.
Also don’t eat the skins of almonds and boycott almonds as they take tons of water to grow……so you are not a vegan and have not been sprouting and soaking for several decades…..
water is so abundant on this earth, what's your point? Yes some countries don't have good access to it, but unless you're intending to post that water over to them, then why should it matter? if it's good for your health why not do it? on the other hand if you care about countries with water shortages then you should help fund clean water programmes instead of complaining on youtube :/
What I do is that I transfer the nuts and seeds onto paper plates or paper bowels that are not lined in plastic and put those in the fridge. The plates in the fridge absorb the left over moisture and the nuts and seeds stay well for over a week.
Thank youu!! No way I'm drying them in the oven
Wouldn’t mind a paper bowel myself…

True 👍
@@MeMorebyKellyNahama is it necessary to dry them? Can we eat them directly after soaking overnight?
@@tanmay_6363 you can 👍
What? Why have I never heard of this til now? I would think this info should be common knowledge. Wow, ty for the info.

The water is not dirty, its the colour of the beans that is in the water.
Oven all night on? that is a no, no. Danger and expensive
Seems a bit much...
12 hours?? Carbon monoxide scare!!!
She said soaking overnight then she said dry them in warm oven
@@fam4060 no she said soak them overnight then leave them in the oven on low heat for 12-24 hours. That does imply sleeping with your oven on, which can be a serious danger even at low heat. The original post was correct, don’t spread misinformation
Dehydrator
Hey Kelly! Thank you very much for you're work. I really appreciate that.
Thank you 🙏
The video didn't mention this; must the nuts be raw to gain benefits through soaking?
I would think so, as roasted nuts have had their nutrients destroyed from the heat anyway, so there would be no benefit to soaking them.
Yes. The nuts or seeds should be raw.
Why the sea salt? Does soaking in just filtered water not do the same? What does the added salt do and does it sodium soak into the seeds and nuts?
Hi please check out the link in the description they are more qualified than me 👍
Can I let them air dry without the oven?? I'm new to this and trying to find much easy quicker way to do this
Have a look at the video I reference 👍
th-cam.com/video/F089EEiHvbw/w-d-xo.html
Is salt absolutely necessary when soaking and why? Im worried about adding unnecessary sodium to the seeds. Thanks- informative video!
Why are you afraid of sodium?
Use Apple cider vineger instead.
Sodium is so overrately negative for no reason lol
i soak mine in light salt water
Salt helps to stop the enzymes inhibitors.

I haven't tried that, you'll have to give it a shot and let me know x
You left your oven on overnight, while you slept??? Not wise.
I did at the lowest heat 😬
@@MeMorebyKellyNahama If you leave an electric oven on, it could lead to a fire. If you leave a gas oven on it could lead to a fire and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Alex B, If you want to cure your Celiac disease, I would recommend you read *"Wheat Belly Total Health".* It will solve all your problems.
hello. 🙂if that is roasted already, u don't need to soak them?
idea! in the summer do this on a heat wave of usual 100 degrees and place on roof of home etc. and let the sun dehydrate them adding vitamin C. Yes!
Brilliant 💥💕
@@MeMorebyKellyNahama Thank you!
Can you soak the nuts and store them to eat for a later time? Oh never mind I saw the answer as I continued to watch the video

I already soaked my sunflower seeds and they already sprouted. Do I use the oven to toast them as you do ?
If u only want to dehydrate, maybe hair blower will work the same
😂😂
Thank you for sharing ❤
how many hours should be soaked for each seed please i know almond needs 12 to 14 hours but don’t know about sunflower and pumpkin seeds ??
I did 12 - 14 hours for all of them 👍
i mixed idk why sunflower pumpkin almond walnut in light salt water overnight

if u buy roasted already, you do not need to soak them? what about the almonds no need to peel?
My oven only goes down to 170f how long should I bake at that temp?
dr berg sent me here
I read that if nuts float in water they may be bad or rancid? I bought 1lb of raw organic walnuts and they all floated. Are they bad?
I wish I could help Phillip. I’m really not sure. Maybe do some research on it 👍
Is it advisable to soak them together?
Love your video
Very well done
One question. Please
Do you have to separate all the different nuts / seeds in separate bowls?
Thank you. I would separate 👍
@@MeMorebyKellyNahama thank you again for the reply. It appears many don’t or won’t reply. It’s reassuring to know some ( you ) still do. Thanks again
Good! 👍🏼
Can you tell how to do this in an Air Fryer?
I have a Philips Air Fryer (with manual settings).
(From India).
I have no idea. Sorry 😞
Can we eat roasted brazil nuts after soaking them?? 😢
Is it okay to soak mixed nuts in one container?
No, you should keep them separate 👍 there’s more information on soaking in this video
th-cam.com/video/F089EEiHvbw/w-d-xo.html
👍
Does the bowl have to be glass to soak them in ???
If I just want to eat the nuts after soaking them, do I need to dehydrate them as well? Or just wash them and then safe to eat?
I believe they are safe to eat only because I have done it!! I didn’t have a reaction 👍
Do you have to use filter water or can you just use bottled water instead of tap water? Do you have to roast them or can you leave them dry in fridge ? Thanks x
Hi Fiona! Bottled water is fine. And you need to dry them with heat. If you put them in the fridge wet, they’ll get slimey 👍
Really good video.
Thanks 🙏
I soak mine in a hot bath. Lmao 🤣
I was thinking that way. Probably easier to rinsing them, instead of soaking them over night. 🤷♀️

Why is salt added to the water is it really necessary or is it just for flavor?

Can i dehydrate it with sunlight
I would think so 👍

Raw nuts 👍
Can you make tahini with soaked seeds?
Yes from sesame seeds 👍
Tnx, for sharing ma'am❤️

Could you sprinkle with salt before dehydrating?
It seems that we cannot anymore enjoy any foods normally 🤔we need to wash veggies and fruit by soaking them for 2 hrs in water and soda, before consuming, now we also need to soak nuts and seeds, wow...

Who tf soak veggies for 2 hours before eating
Are the nuts/seeds that are sold in stores germinated/soaked?
No they are not unless stated. To be clear, I haven’t found any that have stated this 👍
your pumpkin seeds as shown will not sprout, as they are the chinese imported variety. Switch the dark green either US grown or imported from europe.
thanks 👍🏻
Great video. I've heard 350 F and now 160 F. Quite the variance haha
can we drink that water ? and can we eat seeds and nuts together miss kelly?
No. The phytic acid is leached out of the nut into the water.
Can you soak a variety of seeds and nuts in the same bowl?
I do. Soak for 24 hours , changing water three times...filtered water. After that i dry them on some clean tea towels , then put in freezer bags and freeze.
can we use led light for temperature??pls reply

should we cover the pot during soaking the seeds for??

Does this work with all nuts or just raw
Just raw
You're supposed to peel the skin off the almonds that's what contains the phytic acid
That's actually a good point!

I recon to not eat them, blue color doesn't seem right.
That’s sounds very odd. I would not eat them (I’m assuming you didn’t as this response is a little late - sorry) 👍
With todays fuel prices this works out very expansive…invest in a dehydrator
4:14 🕺
What a bloody rigmarole! And the cost of having the stove on for that long? Wow!
A stove on 60 degrees celcius overninght does not cost as much as you may think.

Why not tap water? Lol
That’s fine. 🤷🏽. Most people hate tap water because they think it’s dirty.
Also don’t eat the skins of almonds and boycott almonds as they take tons of water to grow……so you are not a vegan and have not been sprouting and soaking for several decades…..
