Guest guest Posted December 11, 2001 Report Share Posted December 11, 2001 Does anyone know if we are supposed to soak raw sunflower seeds and cashews just like we would for peanuts and walnuts (12-24 hours)? TIA, in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macadamia are slightly higher phenol, but still low copper. Sunflower seeds are slightly higher phenol, I don't have copper content tho.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 > > I have been soaking and drying nuts, and they are very delicious. I read a recipe in nourishing traditions for nut butter. It's soaked and dried nuts bleded up with coconut oil and a bit of honey. Would this be ok to make if I 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? > > Arianna 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. Neal Neal > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
