Nuts contain natural compounds that prevent them from sprouting prematurely. Soaking breaks down these compounds and begins the sprouting process, which makes nuts easier to digest. An added bonus is that soaking nuts may increase the absorption of their nutrients. Feel satisfied more quickly and likely to eat fewer nuts they have been soaked first.
