What are activated almonds?
Activated Almonds are raw almonds that are soaked in water to force them to sprout and the dried at a very low temperature.
Proponents of activating almonds equate it to sprouting seeds and nuts. It is believed that the act of soaking causes the almond to sprout thus releasing the enzyme inhibitors making them more bioavailable while at the same time instilling them with other beneficial nutrients.
I just like their crunchy texture and have found them more enjoyable than plain old raw almonds.
Soak Almonds in enough water to cover for 12 hours.
Then drain them and rinse them under water
Put them in your dehydrator or an oven set to the lowest setting at dehydrate for 24 hours
You will know they are ready when they are nice and crunchy and not chewy at all
Store in an airtight container and enjoy
