Looking for nutritional information on dried vs soaked and sprouted nuts

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I am looking for nutritional information on dried vs soaked and

sprouted nuts. I am especially interested in finding out what happens

to the fats. It is my understandng that the unsaturated fats found in

nuts begin to oxidize the moment the nut leaves the shell - in other

words the nut begins to go rancid. So nuts I buy shelled would be

oxidized to some point - what happens when I soak them and the

sprouting process begins? Are these oxidized fats somehow transformed?

I have been buying our nuts shelled - but shelling nuts for an entire

family is quite time consuming. WHile my kids enjoy doing this for

snacks, shelling enough for an entire recipe is sometimes prohibitive. \

I'd appreciate any sources.

Thanks You.
