You may be eating 20-25 almonds per day and you may be thinking that you are eating it and keeping yourself healthy by eating it. But have you ever thought that what is the best way to eat almonds? How to eat and not to eat almonds? Eating almonds in a wrong way may harm your digestion. Eating them the right way allows your body to reap the benefits of this concentrated power food. Almonds is one of the most nutritious of all and on the other hand almonds are a source of protein, fiber, vitamin E, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, calcium, magnesium and zinc. Almonds are also the least acid-forming of all nuts, which is why they are the only nut recommended in the beginning stages of the Body Ecology Diet. Eating anything in a right manner keeps your digestion as good as possible and good digestion is the only key to the success of good health. Almonds are usually difficult for most people to digest because of an enzyme-inhibit substance in their brown coating. Soaking or sprouting removes this inhibitor so that the enzymes secreted during digestion can do their job. So, here are some of the few steps of eating almonds which you may find interesting for your good health:

  1. You should start with raw, organic almonds.
  2. To soak them, simply cover them with purified water in a glass or stainless steel container overnight for 12 hours.
  3. You can then drain and refrigerate them.
  4. This easy step can fit into even the busiest of schedules so that you can get all the healthy benefits of almonds.
  5. They combine best with fermented foods, non-starchy land vegetables (especially dark green leafy ones) and ocean vegetables.
  6. They also combine with other protein/fat foods like milk kefir and avocado. They’re great to toss into a green, leafy salad.
