Boiling nuts is straightforward and can be done in a few simple steps:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of raw nuts (almonds, walnuts, or any nut of your choice)
- 2 cups of water
- A pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions:
- Bring Water to a Boil: Fill a pot with 2 cups of water and bring it to a rolling boil.
- Add the Nuts: Once the water is boiling, add the nuts and a pinch of salt if desired. The salt can help enhance the nuts’ flavor.
- Boil: Let the nuts boil for about 10-15 minutes. This will soften them and reduce the phytic acid content.
- Cool and Rinse: After boiling, drain the nuts and rinse them under cool water. This helps remove any remaining phytic acid and salt.
- Dry: Spread the nuts out on a baking sheet or a clean towel to dry. You can also toast them in the oven for a few minutes to add some crunch.
