Buckwheat Groats are one of the quickest sprouts around. Is it possible to go through the soaking process, and then store the nuts for a few days prior to using them in a recipe? Better yet, can nuts be soaked upon purchase and then stocked in the freezer?

Will this impact the nutritional profile? Yes, you can soak nuts and store them in the fridge for a few days. I keep them in water and change it out daily.

What Are the Healthiest Nuts and Seeds?

I am not sure what the purpose would be to soak and then freeze the nuts. You might lose some flavor and risk getting ice crystals on them which can taint the flavor.

I would soak as needed, or soak and dehydrate the nuts. That is what I do whenever I bring some home from the store. Thank you for the kind words. I hope you find many recipes to bring you inspiration. The almonds are soaked, peeled, rinsed, and stored in sandwich baggies 1 cup measure in the freezer to use for making almond milk every week.

I measure and bag soaked and rinsed cashews to readily have on hand for specific recipes or to make cashew milk or cashew creams.

And, Amie Sue, I LOVE NouveauRaw! Thank you so much! Thank you Sarah for chiming in. Kari and others will love to read what you shared. And thank you for the sweet words.

It means a lot. Have a blessed day, amie sue. I left my raw cashews soaking overnight and part of the next day. They had some discolouration on them. I made salad dressing and put it in the refrigerator.

Is it safe to eat and store for the rest of the week.

I have tasted several times and did not have any ill effects. Most likely, they are ok. But here are a few things to think of. How fresh were they to begin with? Were they left on the counter or in the fridge?

If in the fridge, I would easily say that they are ok. If on the counter… how warm is your house? Too warm of temps might cause them to go bad.

Did you smell them? Did they pass those tests? Again, are we ruining the nut in our cooking method? Please read through this posting that I did regarding your questions. I hope that you find it helpful. Bottom line, if you are using raw nuts and want to get the most nutrients, then you will want to use degrees F. Anything above that starts to kill those active enzymes and nutrients.

I understand the draw to roasted nuts so you just have to decide what is a priority for you. Please do keep me posted if you do some experimenting. Many blessings, amie sue. Thank you for this info, have you experienced cashews turning purple after soaking? And if so is there any concern oxidation etc? Great question and a tough one. This has happened to me too if I soaked them longer than usual. A lot of people has shared their thoughts but again, nothing that I trace back to science.

I have continued to use them and never had any ill effect. I have put a few inquires out and will see if anyone can answer this question.

I will keep you posted. Ok, I got a response from Wildernessfamily. Perhaps in the future more information will become available.

However, I have lately discovered that whenever I eat them I have very frequent and very pale eliminations sorry! Having now read that oxalates may cause health problems I am wondering if that may be the problem and should research a bit more.

Could their affect on my body be unhealthy? Thanks for sharing, no need to say sorry.

I have had this experience before but not do to cashews. I would look at the health of your liver perhaps.

Read here for starters: There are far too many variables that could be causing this so you need to dig deeper and talk to you health care provider.

Up to now, when I have soaked cashews which I do at room temperature , I have not drained the soaking water away but used it in drinks because some of the fats come out into it, so it tastes quite creamy.

I understand that the soaking process chemically changes the phytic acid, so it no longer has its antinutrient effect. However you say here that the soaking water ought to be drained away. Is that for health reasons, and if so, could you please tell me what is harmful in the soaking water? Good evening Bronwyn, to me it makes sense to toss the drain water.

Where does it go? That is my thought. If you feel comfortable using it, then use it. Have a blessed and wonderful holiday, amie sue. I would do some googling.

My cashews come dried and ready to go. I left my cashews soaking overnight and then all day and then overnight again on my counter. Should I throw them out? They look ok but I still very suspicious of them. There are many determining factors; how fresh were the cashews to begin with? How warm is it in the house? Did you change the water throughout the soaking process?
