Thank you for watching the video 🙏🏻 To my surprise I found out that a lot of people think that you should soak beans, nuts, seeds, legumes, and grains only for the purpose of softening them before cooking. So I decided to make this video to tell why I'm soaking my beans :) I hope you find this information helpful. 🌺
Thank you very much!!! Very important information!!!🙏🙏🌺🌸
@@yurikladienko880 thank you for watching 🙏🏻 🌺❤️
Do you recommend drying the nuts in the oven after you have soaked them or let them dry on their own?
@@ostojanka3611
You should eat them right away, or make milk or butter out of them, and keep them in the fridge for the rest of the day. You should not let them dry on their own.
They can be slow roasted in the oven if you like them that way or dehydrated using a dehydrater. But the roasting process by itself removes a good amount of anti-nutrients, even though it’s not as effective as soaking.
Alot of people find it to be too much hassle to soak and dehydrate/roast nuts and seeds.
Usually I soak nuts and eat them, make milk, or process them another way. If I don’t finish soaked nuts and seeds during that day I incorporate them in my evening meal by cooking them (rice, quinoa, curry, etc.). If I want to make nut butters, granola, etc., I just roast the nuts without prior soaking.
The verdict is, eat your nuts and seeds soaked (the best 👍 🌟) or roasted (ok 👌) , but not raw 👎.
@@positivepranic ❤💕💕🙏🏼👍🏻 Informative 📚
Your voice and narration are so soothing! I feel my anxiety melt away just by watching and I've learned so much! Thank you!!
Thank you so much ☺️🙏🏻 I'm glad you find my voice soothing and was able to relax while watching the video :) 🌺❤️
Excellent. I’ve been sprouting for decades. I must admit I made a dressing for my sprout earlier with walnuts and sesame seeds. Oh and nutritional yeast. I only soaked for 6 hours. All yummy. Thank you for the chart. ❤
It is always good to see videos like this, authentic and coming from the heart. Thank you for this, I have been eating nuts and seeds in the raw form for 30 years, and never heard of the need of soaking them. I'll start tomorrow.
Thank you so much for these wonderful message 💞Brought me joy. Thank you 🙏🏻🌱🌺

Yes! For sure! The potential of an entire tree lays dormant in that seed/ nut/ bean! Soaking also activates all the enzymes within the seed to increase the vitamins and mineral content within it by up to 30x more!
absolutely!
This was such an amazing, educational video. Thank you for sharing why soaking is so important and the time tips. Cheers!
Thank you 🙏🏻 I’m glad you found it helpful 🌺🌺🌺

This is awesome! You are inspiring me to go back to eating like that! Watched it twice!
I'm so happy you find it inspiring 😀
Glad I found your channel. I was wondering if it was possible to reduce the lectins in peanuts.
Now, I will soak my peanuts for at least 12 hours.
Thank you for your help.
oh wow, this is so awesome. We cook a lot of beans and grains and also do milk from almonds and oat so I really appreciate this. Thank you!
You're welcome, I'm glad you find it helpful :)
Omg that’s so helpful. I have BAGS of dried beans I have no idea how to soak!!
I'm glad it was helpful to you :) Now you can make those beans into something as delicious as it is nutritious :)

Very well explained, and in detail! 👍🏼
If I want to store almonds, cashews, walnuts, etc. after soaking them overnight, how do I dry them without a dehydrator?
-and can legumes be also dried and stored, likewise?
-for how long can it be stored?
-can dry fruits like raisins and figs be consumed without soaking?
-(if no, then how much to soak them, how to dry and store?).
(From India).
Great video! I love to cook.
Thanks for watching
Made a cashew cream sauce last night and it was AMAZING! Soaking makes a big difference!
It absolutely does!
Hi did you soak it in the fridge? How many hours? Covered or not covered? Thank you
Wow ...u presentation is as fascinating as your content...mixed with knowledge, emotion for the food and the human body, colour , complete.❤️👍🙏
Thank you 🙏 I'm glad you love it. 💞🌺
I don't always soak my grains, but now I'm getting inspired to do it again.
Soaking is very important part of my daily prep. I love the way grains taste after soaking and the way my body digests them. No bloating or uncomfortable feeling whats so ever.
@@positivepranic what all grains are you talking about here? Please mention.
Your videos are so beautiful; I love watching them.
Thank you so much!
Love this! I want to almond milk great video
🌺
I was vegan for many years and grew my own sprouts. Maybe I'll start again. Thanks for this, very informative.
I'm glad you like it. It is nice that you considering going back to the roots :)
The bestttttttt
💞
Even I find it satisfying to peel soaked almond skin 💯😁🙌🏼
🙌💞😁
Thank you for this wonderful video. How do you store nuts after they have been soaked if you’re not going to eat them all at once?
You should eat them right away, or make milk or butter out of them, and keep them in the fridge for the rest of the day.
Usually I soak nuts and eat them, make milk, or process them another way. If I don’t finish soaked nuts and seeds during that day I incorporate them in my evening meal by cooking them (rice, quinoa, curry, etc.). 🙏🏻💞🌺
Julia thank you very much for those wonderful tips. I had used to soak horse Graham yesterday and it turned out amazingggg.. today Definitely feel like rich in nutrients and minerals. Thank you so much.
💞 thank you dear for letting me know 🙏🏻 I LOVE horse gram 😍 What did you make?
So I soaked horse gram per ur tips day before and today I cooked them in pressure cooker with tadaka of fenugreek seeds, mustard seeds, jeera seeds, curry leaves, turmeric n coriander powder , some salt n water needed to make lil soupy type...and i added some finely chopped spinach too... pressure cook for 15 mins ..Omg it turned out so delicious 😋 and i made multigrain chapati to go with that....
@@positivepranic Julia i meant to ask you .. Have you been to Kailash pilgrimage with sadhguru?
@@ujali4397 that made me hungry again 🤣 Sounds delicious! It was so hot here lately, I don't usually eat horse gram during the scorching summer heat. We are finally moving into a cooler season so I'm already planning on making my favorite horse gram dishes 💞
@@ujali4397 that was my plans for this year that was cancelled by covid. But now who knows if it is ever going to happen. You know that we can't go to Manasarovar anymore right? That is crazy!
Do you have a time and measurements chart that I can print for all kinds of grains, legumes and nuts please!!! Please make more videos on this subject.
Living food ❤💕
💞🌺
This is unrelated but those are beautiful bowls!
🙂🌺
Lovely video. Very informative. Could you please clarify why we need to add in salt and lemon while soaking. Sorry if this was already mentioned in the video. Since I used to soak just in water. I don’t add anything while soaking. What are the benefits of adding salt and lemon water.
Adding a pinch of salt and a splash of freshly squeezed lemon juice will help to reduce the amount of enzyme inhibitors even further 🌱🌺🙏🏻
hi, walnuts, the minimum soak time is 8 hours, what is the optimum time please? is it also good to add some lime juice or apple cider vinegar?
Thank you!! Very informative video. Btw, can i use lime instead of lemon?
Yes you can 👍🏻
Is the soaking time for hulled pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds shorter?
hello, i am having trouble spouting brown rice, any suggestions?
hey,when soaking hazelnuts pecans and brasil nuts,should the water be warm? do i need to add salt and lemon to the water? also,after i soak them(in water) they become very soft and their color is a bit strange,is it still safe to eat them? my almonds have a bit of color too after soaking,they dont smell bad or taste bad,theyre juat very soft and in color..idk.
Do I also have to soak hemp seeds/ Brazil nuts before consuming?
Hello mam,can we use the water which we used for soaking millets.further for boiling them
I’ve read also that you can soak using baking soda,, brown rice using apple cider vinegar ..also salt for amaranth … what you think ??
“..the fresh life that is waiting to become you! All you need to do is to enjoy it consciously, with gratitude.” Just when you were saying this, my six year old asked me: does she know Sadhguru Dada (Grand Pa)? Is she Sadhguru dada’s daughter. And I knew, I had to add this comment. 😁
Your videos are super high quality, informative and consciously crafted. Thanks for sharing! Shambho 🙏
Shambho 🙏 that made me so happy 🌺 I'm so grateful that you took your time to let me know🙏 Thank you so much 🌱🌺❤️
Hi - I eat roasted almonds. So, can I soak them and get rid of the phytic acid? Thank you!
After watching sadhguru , I’m ready to make an amazing transformation in my life and diet is the beginning
Mahalo for sharing
I'm so happy to hear that 😃🙏🏻 Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know. 🌱🌺
Does soaking make them less crunchy? Also why are we removing skin of almonds?
Hello! Thank you for the video!
Can I use apple cider vinegar instead of lemon juice ?
I prefer lemon juice, but yes, you can use apple cider vinegar.
👍👍
🙏❤️🌺
Can i pour room temperature water leave it out cover stanless steel over stainless stell bowl for walnuts and for 5 hours
what about groundnuts that are roasted? is there need to soak them?
How about Flax seeds? Do we soak them for hours?
I soak nuts in jars .. is it better to keep the jars uncovered ?
Can we roast seeds to remove phytic acid and consume them to fulfill our daily nutritional needs. Or we should soak them as you suggested to maximize benefits. Is it necessary to add salt and lemon juice or just soaking is enough. Thank you so much for such informative video. Your voice is meditative.
I think soaking is important because it tricks the seeds that they are about to grow and gets gid of the anti-nutrients.
Hi do we need to remove the skin of some nuts like the thin layer ontop of the groundnuts before soaking?
Not really, nuts have to be thoroughly rinsed before soaking. That’s it. After soaking only almonds must be blanched (deskinned). If there is a need to remove the skin from groundnuts, in my experience, it is easier to do it after soaking. 🙏🏻🌺
Hi can I mix all the seeds which need 8 hours together ? Sunflower Seeds Sesame Seeds Pumpkin Seeds Sesame Seeds . Can I mix into same bowl and soak for 8 hours ?
Is it necessary to soak flaxseed as well?
Great question! Flax seeds don't require soaking and dehydrating in order to use them… as you do with nuts and seeds. Flax seeds indeed need to either be soaked or ground to get all the nutrients from them, but what approach you use will depend on how you are using them in recipes.
Do flax seeds have phytic acid? Yes.
Similar to other seeds, flax seeds contain phytic acid. Still, phytic acid in flax seeds doesn't cause any lasting reduction in mineral absorption and does not affect any subsequent meals.
🙏🏻
What about dehydration? Don't you have to dry them out in the oven in order to store?
Does soaking beans/legumes reduce oxalates?
Good food = Good Life
So true 🙏🏻
If I only have lemon but not salt, can the salt alone help with this process? Is there a particular type of salt that is best? Thanks
The Role of Salt
Enhances Water Penetration: Salt can help soften the hard outer layers of grains and legumes more efficiently, allowing water to penetrate more effectively. This softening process reduces cooking time and can improve texture.
Mineral Availability: A pinch of salt can slightly alter the pH of the soaking water, which may aid in the breakdown of phytic acid, a natural substance found in plant seeds. Phytic acid binds to minerals such as calcium, iron, and zinc, making them less available to our bodies. Reducing phytic acid can therefore increase the bioavailability of these minerals.
The Role of Lemon Juice
Acidic Environment: Lemon juice, being acidic, further assists in breaking down phytic acid. The acidity can help to initiate the breakdown of enzyme inhibitors present in these foods, which can otherwise interfere with our digestive enzymes and make digestion more difficult.
Enhances Nutrient Absorption: The acidic medium can also promote the conversion of some nutrients into more bioavailable forms. For example, it can increase the availability of certain antioxidants and vitamins.
Promotes Beneficial Fermentation: Although not fermentation in the traditional sense, the slight acidity from lemon juice can encourage the growth of beneficial microorganisms present on the surface of these foods. These microorganisms can pre-digest some of the complex sugars, reducing gas and bloating often associated with consuming these foods.
Synergistic Effects
The combination of salt and lemon juice creates an environment that is not just about softening these foods but also enhancing their nutritional profile and digestibility. The salt facilitates water absorption and mineral availability, while the lemon juice contributes to the breakdown of phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors. Together, they create a more favorable condition for our digestive system and improve the overall nutritional benefits of consuming beans, nuts, seeds, legumes, and grains.

Eating grains without soaking them enoight can aggravate arthritis ☹️
Thanks for the video dear 🤗💚

Do you need to cover the almonds while they are soaking, if yes, what is recommended, a plate ok?
If you don't eat them all right away, how long do they last after soaking?
Thank you very much.
I prefer to cover them with a cotton cloth to allow air circulation. After almonds are sacked, rinsed, and blanched they should be stored in the fridge. Usual I made milk out of them right away. I don't like to keep them unprocessed for more than a day. 🙏💞🌺
@@positivepranic thank you!
I see, so one would use a cheese cloth or cotton cloth to allow circulation so I wonder does one need to cover them at all?
@@positivepranic thank you 😊
I always wondered why we should soak beans, nuts, etc. most of the time I just skip this step. Also, it's kind of bad I guess but I usually buy them canned. What do you think of canned products?
It is always better to avoid canned goods, if possible. But once you start making dishes from raw ingredients (like properly soaked and cooked beans, legumes, grains...) you will see the difference, firstly, in the way they taste, and then the way your body feels thereafter. Personally, I wouldn't have canned beans even if they were free :)
After soaking, can i still roast them after they are dried?
Sure thing 👍🏻 They can be slow roasted in the oven. But the roasting process by itself removes a good amount of anti-nutrients, even though it’s not as effective as soaking.
How much does doing this save you? I've been trying to transition to more eco-friendly living while doing better for my body AND saving money. Is this worth it in terms of cost?
I never thought about calculating the amount of money that would save, 🤔 but I'm sure it is quite a bit. For me it is like putting price on my health and well-being.
But it is not just that, the taste is absolutely different. I'm a big lover of hummus, for example. I would never have store-bought hummus or hummus made of canned chickpeas (not like I never tried one, I did for sure). It is really such a huge difference in taste. Plus the way I feel after I eat beans, legumes and grains after they have been properly processed prior to cooking is day and night.
If you’re trying to save money you should definitely by raw beans and soak them. Just see how much a can of beans cost vs raw beans. You not only save money but you save your life. 🙏🏻
@@AumJosh 🙏🏻❤️🌺
You sound almost poetic :)
I’m so happy you appreciate my expression 🙏🏻🌺🌺🌺
I’ve heard it’s not good to soak quinoa because it absorbs the saponins
Where do saponins come from!
@@AumJosh it’s a protective chemical layer over the quinoa that needs to be washed off. The quinoa produces it so animals don’t eat it.
@@gioplease6848 so where does it go if you don’t soak it?
Grinding and soaking isn't better than just soaking?
this lady is super high off life lol
the fact that some people can be brainwashed into believing 🌠🌠 "stardust" just randomly mutated and became those nuts and seeds and plants is just.. mind blowing.
They so have absolutely no excuse about there being the Creator, the Designer.
