Should You Soak Your Nuts

Science people scienced and then came out with their findings. To save you time, let me give you their findings

TL;DR version: LOL NO

Short version: Soaking makes no difference to bioavailability of nutrients in nuts. In fact, you lose some minerals to the water. It works for grains and legumes (we anyway have to soak dal to make them cook quicker)

Thank you for linking the research articles in the video description. The researchers who conducted the studies have been very thorough with their experiments. It was quite an interesting read

I have said it before and I'll say it am so thankful you are making the content you do and posting it on utube and on insta. I have subscribed to you on both of them. Just by learning from you I feel so much more relaxed and empowered at the same time with the new found information in your videos. Thanks a million, I like and comment on almost all of your videos and I also share your content with all the ppl I know who will get some value from them like I do.

Do continue to link the scientific resources you use in your videos. It's so helpful. Thank you!

Multi talented well informed the only social media person I would like to rely on. The rest are all fear mongers. You are just short and to the point !!!

This cracked me up. My mind went like: yes, I should soak my nuts, but *only* when taking a bath. At other times, it can be rather uncomfortable. 😂

Big respect on your caliber to deliver science in an interesting manner.

And here i am, not eating nuts since eternity because i was lazy and forgot to soak it and i thought it was unhealthy to eat unsoaked. 😢

Bravo, Mr. Krish!!! Delighted that you are so good at formulating concise uploads to debunk the junk tossed out there by people who just want to be noticed.

Recently discovered your channel. Great to see your effort to debunk myths. It's a general trend that new Indian generations are putting too much emphasis on traditions of the past not validated by science. It's unnecessarily increasing their effort in the kitchen especially for women. Good job!!

That’s good to know. No harm in soaking nuts and no harm in eating unsoaked nuts that I’ve been dry roasted. I’m glad that both are OK.

[ParthibhanAmudhan]

This is an eye-opener, thanks! What about soaking methi (fenugreek) seeds overnight, drinking the water, and swallowing the soaked methi? Do you think that really helps? Please advise.

[Bokoyo]

Hey algorithms, please suggest this channel more.

I thought the phytates were present in the skin of almonds which can be removed after soaking and peeling them... Is there any study documenting those results?

[nrusinghmartha]

I last read your article way back in 2019....not that I am a voracious reader. Stumbled upon this video today and instantly subscribed 👌

"Don't soak you brain in social media advice" . It goes for your video as well 🤣🤣

I have press the follow bottom of this YT chennal after watching podcast with Dr. Pal. I regret not discovering earlier . I love your videos ❤❤

[rekhap.b.]

Short and crisp thanks for the information

[cranil]

I’m sorry but I can’t but stop laughing at the title 😅😅

Krish, love your videos. Going through your book now. Super interesting read. Already improved my cooking. Thank you!

For me, soaking nuts just makes it easier to digest since they already have water content.
