Frequently Asked Questions:
Why should I soak almonds? Soaking almonds reduces their phytic acid content, which can inhibit nutrient absorption. It also softens them, making them easier to digest and allowing your body to access their full range of nutrients.
Can I eat almonds without soaking them? While you can eat raw almonds without soaking, soaking enhances their nutritional benefits and makes them gentler on your digestive system.
How long should I soak almonds? Soak almonds for 8–12 hours for the best results. You can do this overnight and enjoy them first thing in the morning.
Can I soak almonds for longer than 12 hours? Soaking them for longer than 12 hours can make them mushy and reduce the nutritional benefits, so it’s best to stick to the 8–12 hour range.
Is there a limit to how many almonds I should eat daily? A handful of soaked almonds (about 5–10) each day is a healthy serving. Eating too many may lead to excess calorie intake, but in moderation, they offer incredible health benefits.
Making soaked almonds a part of your morning routine is a simple yet powerful way to enhance your health. Whether you eat them raw or blend them into a delicious creation, these almonds pack a punch with their rich nutrients that benefit both your body and mind.
