Just tried this to make ranch in a cinch, worked like a charm! It usually takes me about 24 hours to make my recipe, tonight it was 22 minutes. Very nice.

Becky, my understanding is that the purpose of soaking nuts and seeds it’s to activate the enzymes that inhibit germination. By activating these enzymes and allowing enough time that the enzymes are rinsed away also apparently increases the digestibility of the nuts and seeds. So although this quick method could allow one to get the creamy texture, my understanding is that it will not create the benefit of reducing the enzyme inhibitors. There’s more information on the Internet if you’re going to read up on it.

I love this - what a great time when you are short of time (like I usually am). x

so why not just boil them in water on the stove?
