so if you have trouble consuming nuts this  video is for you whether you’re consuming  

almonds pecans brazil nuts so a lot of people  get this bloating and they’re not sure why well  

nuts have more phytic acid than even grains or  legumes but what is this thing called phytic acid  

phytic acid is something that a seed uses to help  bind minerals and prevent biochemical reactions  

to allow this seed to sprout so phytic acid is  kind of a chemical to keep things locked up and  

when you consume seeds with phytic acid you are  not only creating a problem in the absorption  

of calcium iron magnesium zinc copper but also  because some of those minerals are used in enzymes  

overall when you consume nuts you can’t utilize  a lot of these enzymes to help you digest them  

so it’s a situation where you’re consuming a  food without the enzymes and so it tends to sit  

in the stomach create all sorts of bloating  create irritation and even inflammation  

so the worst nut that has the highest phytic  acid is almonds it is 9.4 percent phytic acid  

walnuts are six point seven percent phytic acid  and brazil nuts are six point three percent now if  

you compare these two grains grains are actually  a lot less but there’s a very simple solution  

to phytic acid all you have to do is mimic the  normal sprouting process or germination process  

that naturally occurs when you plant a seed and  to do that you just soak them in water overnight  

that will start the process going  the phytic acid will be released  

this whole binding process between minerals will  go away so you can actually absorb these minerals  

and now this nut is going to be much easier  to digest now the problem is you can have  

this silky soggy wet nut so you’re gonna have  to dry it out and the best way to do that is  

either put it in the oven at a very low  temperature or a dehydrator for a period of time  

until it’s dry but what you’re going to find is  when you germinate nuts and seeds and dry them out  

the taste is much better the nutrition is way way  better and they’re just much easier to digest so
