Jo Whitton, Quirky Cooking www.quirkycooking.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TODAY'S VIDEO: "Activating Nuts & Seeds - Why, How and When?" This week I answer listener's questions about activating nuts & seeds, like: - 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? - What do you do with the pulp from nut milk? - Can you activate nut meal or does it have to be whole nuts? Learn the reasons behind soaking, fermenting and activating and what the best options are for those on a gut-healing diet, plus watch me demonstrate how to soak and activate a variety of nuts and seeds.
