Are Raw Nuts Healthy? Understanding Antinutrients and Digestibility


Question
Whats wrong with nuts?

Why you dont recommend them ?

Answer
I don't recommend nuts, however raw, because they contain antinutrients. It is true that the antinutrient-levels can be reduced to a certain extent by soaking the nuts beforehand for 24 hours, but even so, some antinutrients remain. Raw nuts are one of only 2 raw foods which give me minor stomach-aches(the other being raw dairy products). I don't think it matters if rawists eat raw nuts in small amounts on occasion it's better than cooked food after all),  but I definitely don't recommend raw nuts as a staple of the diet.
