- Our sprouted walnuts start with the delicious, organic, raw, dry-farmed walnuts you know and love and use a special technique to soak, sprout, and dehydrate them for optimal health benefits. These walnuts are easier to digest, paleo-friendly, enzyme active, and supremely delicious.
- Please allow up to 7 days for preparing, processing of the soaked walnut orders.
- Our soaking is generally a 10 hour process! The dehydrators are set at 100 degrees to keep the status of our walnuts raw. They are dried for 24 to 36 hours depending on the humidity level at the time. The whole process of handcrafting these soaked, sprouted and dehydrated walnuts takes an average of 5 days. We hope you will enjoy this delicious labor of love!
- The Sprouting Process
So many people enjoy our walnuts in the soaked, sprouted and dehydrated version because of the delicious, unique taste and the extra health benefits.
When walnuts are harvested, nature protects the nut with nutritional inhibitors and toxic substances, so it does not sprout prematurely. Once it rains, these substances and toxins are leached out and removed to get the walnut ready to grow. Basically, the rain tells the seed that is a good environment to sprout and make a seedling/new tree. The substances we know that get removed and reduced in this process are the phytic acids and the tannins, plus there is a neutralization of enzyme inhibitors. What does this mean for you?
- Easier to Digest and More Nutritious Too!
During the soaking process, the phytic acids are removed. Phytic acids can be a problem because when they combine with nutrients in the intestinal tract they can prevent or block optimal absorption. Removing the phytic acids therefore “frees” up the vitamins and minerals in walnuts for more effective digestion.
Tannins are found in the skin of the walnut. When we soak the walnut, these tannins get rinsed away, removing any bitter flavor and allowing the buttery flavor of the walnut to take center stage.
The enzyme inhibitors are also removed during soaking. Enzyme inhibitors can mess with our natural digestive enzymes which normally break down the food we eat. Once these inhibitors are removed during soaking, the digestion of the walnut becomes much easier.
Another great benefit of soaking is the increased production of several beneficial enzymes, which then release many vitamins otherwise locked up in the walnut, such as vitamin B.
- The Healthy Superfood
Walnuts are one of the oldest foods humans have consumed. Recent extensive studies have proclaimed shelled walnuts to be one of the top ten “superfoods” with the highest concentration of antioxidants compared to all other nuts, and beating out cranberries and blueberries. Here are some of the specifics:
- 1 ounce of raw walnuts has 2.5g of alpha-linolenic acid, the plant-based omega-3.
- Walnuts contain a concentration of 13 vitamins including B1, B2, B3, B6, thiamine and folic acid.
- Walnuts are cholesterol free and contain less than 2 grams of saturated fat in each 1 ounce serving.
Some of the medical benefits attributed to the components of fresh, raw walnuts:
- Strengthened immune system and more stable nervous system
- Improved concentration and retention, reducing risk of Alzheimer’s
- As part of a low cholesterol diet, walnuts can reduce the risk of heart disease.
- Consume just an ounce or two of raw walnuts per day and improve your health!
