Organic Garden Certified Organic Raw Sprouted California Walnuts

Description: Organic Raw Sprouted Walnuts - 8 ozSprouted walnuts are packed with nutrients and easy to digest. My sprouting process involves soaking the walnuts for 4 hours causing them to begin to germinate. The walnuts are then rinsed with filtered water and allowed to soak an additional 4 hours. The walnuts are rinsed a second time with filtered water, removed from the solution and slowly dried at a very low (108F) temperature with low humidity for up to 36 hours. Because these nuts have undergone a germination process, they must be stored at refrigerator or freezer conditions until ready for consumption. Please allow 3-5 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.
