    You can dehydrate these soaked seeds to get them crunchy again for recipes that require crunchy nuts or seeds such as these energy bars.
    If you don’t have a dehydrator there are inexpensive models out there with a fully functioning thermostat such as the Nesco brand (check out amazon) .
    These bars are still awesome without soaking and dehydrating but they’l sit a lil’ heavier on ya! :0)

    This allows the seeds to be eaten by animals and if they’re not chewed they will pass through the animal and be able to grow in their new location. This function can effect us because these digestive inhibiting effects can mean gas, bloating and indigestion for us. Kinda like consuming “negative enzymes”. Soaking releases these inhibitors and begins the seeds germination process, making it more enzyme rich and easier to digest!

    Thanks so much damagedgarden! Awesome to hear you’re shooting for a high raw diet! Great way to go!

    It’s not 100% neccesary to soak the nuts and seeds beforehand. But, it does make them a lot easier to digest! Nuts and seeds contain enzyme inhibitors. These enzyme inhibitors prevent the seeds from sprouting until there is enough moisture to support the growing seedling. This is cool but, they also have another role, they prevent the seed from being digested!

    You are awesome! I have been looking for a good raw energy bar recipe. I’m not raw myself but and trying to go high raw in my diet.

    Question: Do I HAVE to soak the nuts and seeds? If so, why? Would it be bad if I didn’t?

  5. Looks tasty. Nice …
