How long to Soak Seeds.
Hard variety like almonds and walnuts 10-12 hours, soft variety like cashews and pumpkin seeds 4-5 hours.
Ideally soak hard variety overnight. If not soaked yesterday roast them for today's use. This is quick fix and not a healthy practice.
Why to Soak Seeds
Every seed has an acidic covering, which is it's natural protection against ants and prey. When we soak seeds, the moisture makes the seed to prepare for germination and thereby converts the acidic covering into alkaline.
Scientifically the outer covering is fatty omega 6 and on soaking converts to fatty omega 3.
