This week I answer listener’s questions about activating nuts & seeds, such as:
– Why activate nuts & seeds, and do you always do it?
– Are some nuts harder on the digestive system than others?
– What is the difference between activating, soaking and fermenting?
– Can you use an oven for dehydrating soaked nuts & seeds?
– How do you avoid activated nuts/seeds from going mouldy?
– If I blanch and remove almond skins is that same as activating?
