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.
Temperatures and Times. Store almonds in the shell up to eight months at an indoor temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep them for 12 months or longer at a refrigerator temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. Store shelled almonds about two months at room temperature or up to a year at 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep them safely for a year or more at a freezer temperature of 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Store slivered or sliced almonds in the freezer to maintain freshness because they do not keep as long as whole nuts.
