Riverland Activated Nuts is a home based business providing activated nuts and other deydrated foods, allowing you to enjoy healthy snacks with maximum nutritional benefit. Well, usually nuts are full of enzyme inhibitors that prevent them from sprouting in dry conditions. So if you soak them, you fool the nut into starting to sprout - which is good because the sprouted form has nutrients that are
more easily absorbed. Which means more of the good stuff in the nut is used by our bodies! Constipation, stomach cramps and bloating are examples of some issues people have eating raw, un-activated nuts. And, yes, this is a traditional method of preparation. For example the Aztecs would soak pumpkin or squash seeds in salty water and then, sun dry them. Some of the most alive and health-promoting foods on this planet are fermented - including power foods such as tempeh, sourdough breads, kimchi, yoghurt, miso, tamari, sauerkraut, umeboshi, wine and idli (rice flour). ACTIVATED nuts are soaked in salted water and the germination process begins. When this happens, phytic acid and the enzyme inhibitors are broken down. This makes the nutrients available for absorption by the body. In addition, research has shown that if nuts are soaked for longer periods of time, the level of nutrients actually increases. The dehydration process also partially ferments the nuts and aids in their digestibility, breaking down complex carbohydrates. This is one of the reasons why roasted nuts became so popular, but roasting nuts at a high temperature is said to also destroy most of their nutritional value. ACTIVATED nuts and seeds become noticeably lighter, tastier, more nourishing, free of bitterness and markedly more-ish. [email protected] mob: 0438 600 495
