Soaking Nuts?

[Myca]

I reread Alissa's book. I missed the part where you have to soak the nuts before you eat them?
I thought I could just eat them right out of the shell?
They all have to be soaked?

You can eat nuts without soaking, but soaking eliminates the natural enzyme inhibitors, and it also makes the nuts easier to digest. I usually soak and then dry the nuts again to keep the crunch.

I don't soak unless a Recipe call for it. But "Glacierkn" is right. They should be soaked for easy digestion and absorpion.
