Soaking times for Nut and Seeds for Sprouting or Activating them
When soaking your nuts or seeds we recommend that you add sea salt to the water, about one-half teaspoon per cup of nuts. You might want to consider using filtered water, depending on your water quality. Soak for the recommended time below in the fridge and then rinse your nuts well. After rinsing, you can dehydrate your nuts in a dehydrator or low oven until they are crisp (to ensure you have removed all moisture). Always store your nuts in the fridge.
