You better soak and ferment your grains and nuts to reduce the amount of phytic acid in them.
Phytic acid prevents the vitamins and minerals to be properly absorbed by your body.
If you would like to soak your oats, nuts and seeds, you will just have to pour filtered water in them to cover with the cheesecloth and leave at a room temperature overnight (at the counter).
In the morning you will need to rinse both and:
*Cook your oats (they will cook a little faster after being soaked);
*Dehydrate the nuts and seeds - the best way is to use a dehydrator or the oven at the lowest 170 F for 2-4 hours. Spread the nuts and seeds evenly on the wax paper and check occasionally to prevent any burn.
(in my opinion the nuts and seeds do taste so much better after that).
I shall highly recommend fermenting along with the soaking. Especially if it is just so easy to do!
To fermenting can be done by simply adding to the water and seeds, nuts, oats:
1. 1-2 tbs of Apple Cider Vinegar (it will not spoil the taste - you will not feel it at all)
2. 1-2 tbs of Lemon Juice
3. 1-2 tbs of Kefir (Plain)
4. 1-2 tbs of Buttermilk
Voila - leave at the counter overnight and the healthier option of the grains is easily done.
As for the FLOUR, you will need to add Kefir or Buttermilk to the Flour to cover (the appx. amount you are going to use, let's say for the morning pancakes - 1 cup of flour = 1 cup of Kefir or Buttermilk)). And leave covered with the cheesecloth overnight. The nest day you will need to add the rest of the ingredients and cook your meal.
I hope this helps. It is so easy to do and it's always great when you feel that you are doing something extra for your precious health.
