Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 On a similar note, Hulda recommends soaking and drying buts as well. "Rinse the nuts in water first (a lot of mold is removed in this simple way). Cover the nuts with water, add about ¼ tsp. vitamin C powder (for a pint of nuts) and mix. Let stand for 5 minutes. The water penetrates the nuts, taking the vitamin C with it and detoxifies them. Pour off the water and dry the nuts in the oven at low heat. (Don't burn them or you will make benzopyrenes.)" ransley <ransley@...> wrote: R wrote: >If hot water is poured on (nuts) and allowed to soak for a couple ofminutes, no dry mouth, if I neglect the soaking the dryness follows a hour or solater.<- You are always a good source of information.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Daddybob, I also find raw nuts rather irritating to my mouth, particularly. I have been soaking nuts in water with vitamin C added, to neutralize mold (per Hulda ). I dry them on low heat in the oven but that may not be low enough heat. But it does make them more tolerable. I like Brazil nuts for the selenium, but they really irritate my mouth and throat. Maybe your process would help me tolerate them.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Bob, if the Brazil nuts taste " dirty " they may have that mold or whatever it is. Aflotoxins I think. Bad for the liver. I soak almonds and sunflower seeds. Soaking removes the germination inhibitor which is in the seed. And yes, they really do taste better soaked! Cashews get soggy, I think that is because most cashews are not really raw, they steam off the shell. You can get raw cashews. They are really expensive.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 They say if you eat 1 Brazil nut for every 50 pounds you can help prevent cancer because of the intake of natural selenium. This was for dogs--because they couldn't come out and say for people, but they alluded to it. You are suppose to take the nuts every day. I believe you can also soak them in sea salt water so that you get the minerals and the salty taste? I haven't tried it yet, but have been meaning to. One day I'll get around to it. :-) Samala, -------Original Message------- The Weston A Price Foundation says raw nuts are not good for you, that bad enzymes in them will build up in us and cause digestive problems.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 , u might want to get the book, Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. It covers many health ideas and also some great recipes, which includes soaking nuts in salt water overnight. u can borrow it from the library, which i did, and then decided it was well worth the money and purchased my own copy. > > They say if you eat 1 Brazil nut for every 50 pounds you can help prevent > cancer because of the intake of natural selenium.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 THanks . I have heard of the book but never saw it. I'll order it at the library and take a look.
