Soaked and Dehydrated Nuts

Soaked and dehydrated nuts are easier to digest and, in my opinion, more delicious than raw nuts and healthy then roasted nuts.  These are a great snack and easily made into a nut butter.  I use these to make my nutty cups.

Soaked and Dehydrated Nuts

 Makes 4 cups

 Ingredients: Nuts {Almonds, Cashews, Macadamia Nuts, Walnuts...}, water, and salt

In a large bowl place:

• 4 cups of nuts

Pour in enough water to cover an inch or so above the nuts

Add:

• 1 Tbsp sea salt

Soak accordingly:

• Most nuts including almond, macadamia nuts, walnuts ~ 7 hours or so

• Cashews ~ 6 hours {do not soak more}

Strain the water. Then place the nuts in the dehydrator on the lowest setting for several days until they are crunchy.  If you do not have a dehydrator then spread on a baking sheet and place in the oven and cook on the lowest temperature until crunchy.

Best stored in the freezer to keep them fresh
