Soaked Nuts: A Raw Food Staple

Soaked nuts are a large part of raw food cuisine. Allotting time for them to acquire the silky texture they induce in recipes was an adjustment when I went raw and had to rely more on nuts for protein and calcium.   

Flipping through the recipes I plan to make during the next two days, I scanned for any ingredient with "soaked" next to it. 

I covered in water, sealed, and put in the refrigerator the following: 


2 cups pecans for Blueberry Pancakes

2 cups cashews for Rosemary Garlic Mashed Potatoes
1 cup almonds and 1 cup sunflower seeds for Save the Tuna Salad
2 cups cashews for Cashew Ricotta Cheese

2 1/4 cups pecans for Pumpkin Pie with Thyme

Stay tuned for the results of all!
