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.
