Soaked Nuts I don't soak many things but nuts are really yummy. In glass container soak:
1 lb nuts *sea salt filtered heated water (should be warm). *pecans - 2 t walnuts - 2 t almonds - 1 T hazelnuts - 1 T cashews - 1 T Drain and rinse well. Place in dehydrator for about 24 hours until crisp. Cool well before storing in airtight glass jars. Try to use within a few months. As a general rule with nuts: the harder the nut, the longer the soak.
Long-soak nuts (almonds, pistachios, and hazelnuts) need at least 8 hours. Medium-soak nuts (pecans, walnuts, and Brazil nuts) are oilier and swell up quickly, so require less soaking time. Short-soak nuts (cashews, macadamias, and pine nuts) have the highest fat content and require only 2 to 4 hours soaking. Do not soak these nuts for longer than 4 hours. Soaking them for extended periods of time break down their health-promoting oils.
