taste and digestibility
Nuts are a nutrient-rich food and health benefits, but did you know that immersing them in boiling water before consuming them can bring additional benefits? This simple and fast practice can improve the taste of nuts and make them more digestible. Let’s see together how and why to do it.
Benefits of immersion in boiling water
Soaking nuts in boiling water has several positive effects. First of all, this method helps to remove phytic acid, an antinutrient found in the film that covers the nuts. Phytic acid can interfere with the absorption of minerals such as iron and zinc. By reducing the content of this compound, immersion makes nuts not only tastier, but also more nutritious. Immersion in hot water can help reduce the bitter taste of walnuts, making them sweeter and more pleasant on the palate. This is especially useful for those who find walnuts not very palatable due to their strong and earthy flavor.
