Some foods become far more effective when soaked. Nuts and seeds are such foods. Soaking them activates their enzymes and partially digests the protein, making all the nutrients they contain readily available to the body. Soaking also makes small seeds, such as sesame and flax, easier to chew and therefore to digest.

Place nuts and seeds in a container, cover with water to 2.5–5cm (1–2 inches) above the top of the nuts, and place in the refrigerator for an hour or two or, for almonds, overnight. They will plump up, absorbing the water and the oxygen in the water. Then they will be ready to eat and enjoy. Rinse them and change the water ever day. Keep them totally submerged. Eat within two days to prevent mould forming under the skin of the nuts.
