I was wondering that same thing because I couldn't find them in NT.

So i figured all nuts and seeds would have phytic acid. So I soaked

my sunflower seeds in water for 12 hours than lightly salted

W/redmonds salt and than dried them under 140 they were good.

My son's on a hugely restrictive diet; gfcfsf, no yeast, sugar, peanuts, low

phenols, no artificial anything, no corn, etc. We've had trouble with using

enzymes, but that's another story.

I'm trying to figure out new foods to give him, and am looking into the nut

group. He reacts horribly to peanuts (immediate rage), and to almonds (highly

phenolic, acted drunk), and so I've been avoiding the whole nut group for years,

maybe for no good reason. Are there any nuts anyone would suggest might be safe

to try? Walnuts? Pecans? Cashews?

For what it's worth, he seems fine on sesame seed, but has gotten REAL tired of

tahini.

Thanks,

Debbie

Cashews?

Cashews are lowest phenol and also lowest copper, so you can consider

that.

Macadamia are slightly higher phenol, but still low copper.

Sunflower seeds are slightly higher phenol, I don't have copper

content tho.

omited the honey? I know you have said nut butters if you must cheat. I am

wondering the difference between a homemade nut butter with the above

ingredients and just the nuts?

Hi Arianna

Nuts are hard to digest unless soaked and they are high in carbs so if you have

not been well I would omit them for now. I had a desire for almond butter and

after I could think more clearly I dropped it and use it no more.

When we are not well the things we crave are the things we should not eat. We

get stronger and then just smile when we see them.

+++Hi Arianna. Yes, if you must have them the honey must be eliminated.
