Nuts contain a good amount of healthy fat, fibre and protein but they are also hot in potency. Thus, soaking is essential.
Nuts have phytic acid, tannins, and enzyme inhibitor layer and these gets eliminated when nuts are soaked.
Soaking nuts before consumption makes it easier for our bodies to absorb the valuable nutrients.
When the nuts are soaked, their heat (ushnata) is reduced to a great extent.
Soaked nuts are easy to digest for the body unlike the nuts and dry fruits that are not soaked.
