soak nuts to just eat? also nut-free dip recipes?

[kiropa]

hi,

my body does not digest raw nuts well AT ALL. so, i usually stay away.

so, can anyone share or point me in the direction of some dip/spread/pate recipes that are nut free?

next, i understand from reading that soaked nuts are easier to digest. i am thinking of giving nuts another go. are you supposed to soak just for eating? how do i dry them w/o a dehydrator? how do i store?

thanks!

Hi Kiropa -

soaking nuts and seeds (and dried fruits!) helps there digestability for any purpose that you use them for - even just eating. It washes away the enzyme inhibitors and helps awaken the life forces within them.

Do you have a reference that tells you how long to soak them?

Kiropa, here is a thread that discusses the same concern.
