To sprout, and if not, not to nut....

[Shanti]

I started a new thread on this because it's an important question for me, and I have a bag of unraw nuts right here..your answer will determine my snacking (or nonsnacking, as the case may be)!! My question is, given what Alissa says about the need to sprout nuts, are you better off NOT eating raw nuts if you don't have time to sprout??? I mean, are you using your bodys' own enzyme inventory to break down the food...which is the big no-no??

Oh, I don't think it's better not to eat them. When I first started, I did not sprout them and still healed myself and have had great results. Now I'm sprouting them before I nibble. If you don't eat you are gonna wanna grab SAD/CRAP food instead. Just don't overdo in the nut indulgence...
