Only use proper sea salt. Anyway, nuts do not acquire molds during the soaking and drying stages; they can acquire molds later when keeping them in the refrigerator, particularly if they are not thoroughly dried. I usually start air-drying with only the oven light, but because nuts can easily burn I finish the drying process by air drying them. It has always worked well for me, and they haven't gotten moldy in the fridge. The best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
