NOTE Soaking nuts re-hydrates, softens, activates life force and makes them easier to digest. Drain before blending.

Soaking (Activating) Nuts and Seeds Soaking and activating nuts creates a similar condition to germination and helps remove a protective natural toxin (phytic acid, which is designed to make the nut pass straight through a digestive system to germinate). Removing this protective layer during soaking usually makes nuts easier to digest and can also increase healthy enzymes and nutritional availability in the nut.

To Soak/Activate Nuts Place your desired quantity of nuts in a jar and cover with filtered or spring water at an approx. 2 to 1 ratio (1 cup nuts to 2 cups water). Place on a counter overnight. You can soak for less time, but at least 6–8 hours is ideal. After soaking, drain and rinse the nuts or seeds in filtered or spring water and use immediately, or store in the fridge for up to 3 days
