Activate your Nuts and Seeds. How and why

March 7, 2015

Many people today are using seeds and nuts as snacks and topping on food. I’d like you to understand the value of activating them.

All nuts and seeds contain phytic acid which inhibits the absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and zinc.
By soaking (activating) you neutralise these enzyme inhibitors which block our own precious digestive enzymes, making the goodness in the nut and seed more available.

Active your nuts buy covering with filtered water with a squeeze of lemon juice and your seeds with a pinch of Pink Himalayan salt. Ideally soaking overnight is best. Drain on a paper towel. You can toast them on a very low heat until dried out and a little crunchy or just eat them as they are after activation.

They add so much nutritional value to any meal. Great a snack mid afternoon to give your kids and energy boost after a busy day at school! Or fill a small container and pop it in their lunch box.
