Daily SimmerActivated Dehydrated Walnuts
Often called "activated walnuts," soaking and then dehydrating walnuts at a low temperature helps reduce phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors, making them easier to digest and incredibly crunchy.
Ingredients
- 400g Raw walnuts
- 8g Sea salt
- Water
Directions
Place 400g Raw walnuts in a large bowl and cover with filtered water. Stir in 8g Sea salt until dissolved.
Allow the walnuts to soak at room temperature for 8 hr (up to 12 hours).
Drain the walnuts in a colander and rinse them thoroughly under cold running water to remove the salt and any residue.
Spread the walnuts in a single layer on dehydrator trays or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Dehydrate at 45°C for 12 hr to 24 hours. If using an oven or air-fryer, use the lowest possible setting (ideally below 65°C) and check frequently until they are completely dry and snap easily when broken.
Let the walnuts cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer for maximum freshness.
