How important is it to soak nuts and seeds?

[Guest guest]

How important is it to soak nuts and seeds? Soaking is recommended to

neutralize enzyme inhibitors, make them more easily digestible, and make their

nutrients more readily available. But the few times I've tried soaking and

drying nuts and seeds in the oven they came out tasting horrible. I don't feel

any detrimental effects from eating nuts and seeds without soaking them. Thanks

for any replies.
