Guest guest Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 I know that we are supposed to soak beans before cooking them and I'm wondering if anyone soaks nuts before using them too. I started doing this several years ago, after reading " Nourishing Traditions " , but got out of the habit. Now that I'm grinding my own pecan butter, I started soaking the pecans for about 8 hours in slightly salted water, draining them well and then drying them in my oven. I set it for 170 (should only be 150, but mine won't go that low) for a couple of hours and then turn it off with the light on overnight. This is supposed to deactivate the enzyme inhibitors found in the nuts, but retain their nutritional value. Does anyone else do this? Does anyone know if it's possible to buy flour made from soaked and dried nuts? Thanks, Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
