Are you curious about activated nuts, what they are and what health benefits they offer? Look no further! We’re here to share the top facts about activated nuts and why you should incorporate them into your daily routine.
What are Activated Nuts?
Our organic activated nuts are raw nuts that have been slow soaked in Australian sea salt, triggering an early germination and sprouting process. This activation process helps enhance the nuts nutritional profile, making them easier to digest than the raw version and helps increase their bioavailability. They are then slowly dehydrated at our custom designed facility at low temperatures, before being shipped off for you to enjoy.
Fact #1: Improved Digestion
The soaking process helps reduce the phytic acid content in the nut, an anti-nutrient that can interfere with nutrient absorption. This leads to better digestion and nutrient assimilation, reducing digestive discomfort and bloating – that’s a big bonus!
Fact #2: Enhanced Nutrient Bioavailability
Activation increases the bioavailability of nutrients such as protein, vitamins, and minerals. This means your body can make better use of the nutrients in activated nuts, providing more health benefits than regular raw nuts.
Fact #3: Better Taste & Texture
Activated nuts have a crunchier texture and a more pleasant taste than regular nuts, making them a delicious addition to your favourite recipes or as a standalone snack!
Fact #4: Suitable for a Range of Diets
Activated nuts are a fantastic option for people following vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, or paleo diets. They're also perfect for individuals with food sensitivities or allergies, as activation reduces potential irritants.
Fact #5: Versatile & Easy to Use
Activated nuts can be enjoyed on their own, added to salads, smoothies, or baked goods, and can be quickly and easily be turned into nut milk or nut butter. The possibilities are endless!
Fact #6: 2die4's Commitment to Quality
