Did you know that you can make nuts more digestible—and tastier—by soaking and dehydrating them? It’s true! Removing the phytic acid, an enzyme inhibitor, allows for the full flavor and health benefits of nuts to come through. That’s why we soak and dehydrate all of our nuts before turning them into Cynful Snax. 

Taking Nuts to the Next Level
There are plenty of reasons to love nuts—they’re a great source of protein, healthy fats, and enzymes. Unfortunately, many people have difficulty digesting them due to phytic acid. 

Phytic acid is an enzyme inhibitor that makes it difficult for your body to absorb the nutrients in nuts. Soaking and dehydrating helps to remove this irritant, allowing for easier digestion and nutrient absorption. As a result, you’ll enjoy all of the health benefits that nuts have to offer without the digestive discomfort.

Don’t Skip Out on Flavor
In addition to making them easier to digest, soaking and dehydrating helps nuts bring out their full flavor. When you soak nuts in water overnight, they become softer and more pliable. This makes it easier for them to absorb flavorings like salt, sweeteners, and spices. As a result, you’ll be able to taste all of the different flavors in our Cynful Snax products more fully. 

Dehydration, on the other hand, locks in this flavor while deepening each nut’s natural palette. Finishing with a thin, light, and crispy outer layer, each bite has a satisfying crunch that hits all the markers of a crave-inducing snack. We have heard many times that they are addicting! Thankfully, the robust flavor allows for a little to go a long way.

Trust us—once you try our soaked and dehydrated nuts, you’ll never go back!

Let’s Have a Closer Look at the Health Benefits 
So, what are the benefits of taking the time to soak and dehydrate your nuts? For one thing, it makes them easier to digest. This is because phytic acid, naturally found in nuts, binds with minerals like calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, and zinc—making them less available for absorption by our bodies. Soaking and dehydrating remove the phytic acid, ensuring those minerals are more bioavailable. 

This process also activates enzymes that ensure vitamins and minerals are released and available from each nut. This means that not only are you getting more nutrients from soaked and dehydrated nuts, but your body is also better able to absorb those nutrients.
