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.
Best Answer: Soak them overnight. Rinse, pick out any unwanted bits, then you can cook them. You can also do a quick soak -- put beans and enough water to cover plus an inch or two of water in a pan. Bring it to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for 2 hours.
