One cup of raw cauliflower is rich in the antioxidant vitamin C, which is required for tissue growth and tissue repair in all parts of the body. It is also necessary for the formation of the important protein collagen, which is used to make skin, tendons, ligaments, scar tissue, and blood vessels.
Why should you soak your almonds? Almond skin contains an enzyme inhibitor which protects the seed until itâs moisturized enough for the process of germination. The enzyme inhibitor is activated only when you soak the almonds in water. Soaked almonds are easy to digest, and the body can use the nutrients better. This applies to most nutrients, as they are easily digested when soaked in water overnight.
1--- It seems the outer skin of almonds is hard to digest and therefore heat-producing. Nuts are easier to digest and their nutrients are more readily available if they are first soaked overnight Salt in the soaking water activates enzymes that neutralize enzyme inhibitors in the skin. 2--- Soaking almonds does not take away nutrients as they are with skin when soaked.
