Storage of soaked nuts

[linlee123]

I have some almonds that I soaked three days ago. I have had them stored in the refrigerator.

I was re-reading an email I received from one of the chefs at Cafe Gratitude about how long they can be stored in the refrigerator before using them (btw - up to one week). While looking for the answer to that, I noticed she also said if I don't use them right away, I should rinse and drain them daily.

I forgot to rinse and drain them. Is it ok to still use them? Anyone know what happens if you don't rinse and drain them daily?

Thanks!

I wouldn't worry too much....I've stored soaked almonds in the fridge for about a week, and wasn't aware of the "rinse" rule, and I never had any problems. One day will be fine, I'm sure!
