Description: Organic Raw Sprouted Walnuts - 16 oz.These organic raw walnuts are picked fresh and received from a local California farmer. The walnuts themselves are mild with complex notes including tangy and sharp. The sprouting process removes some of the naturally occurring tannins which can sometimes impart an astringent taste while releasing the multitude of enzymes and improving mineral absorption. Because these nuts have undergone a germination process, they must be stored at refrigerator or freezer conditions until ready for consumption. Please allow 5-7 days after purchasing for shipping. BenefitsImproved Mineral AbsorptionNuts are a rich source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, vitamins B and E, and the minerals magnesium, calcium, copper, selenium, zinc and iron. Nuts also contain phytic acid, an anti-nutrient present in the bran of nuts and seeds that binds with minerals (especially calcium, iron, copper, zinc and magnesium) and prevents their absorption. Sprouting neutralizes some phytic acid, thus improving mineral absorption. Removal of Enzyme InhibitorsNuts also contain enzyme inhibitors, which block or denature metabolic and digestive enzymes. Pepsin, which breaks down protein in the stomach, and trypsin, which breaks down protein in the small intestine, are two enzymes that can be inhibited by the phytates present in raw nuts. Amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starches, is also inhibited by phytates. Sprouting removes some of these inhibitors and improves overall nut digestion.
