Nature has set it up so that the nut, grain, and seed may survive until proper growing conditions are present.When it rains the nut, grain or seed gets wet and can then germinate to produce a plant.
So we are mimicking nature when we soak our nuts, grains, and seeds.
To remove or reduce phytic acid.
To remove or reduce tannins.
To neutralize the enzyme inhibitors.
Soaking allows enzymes, lactobacilli, and other helpful organisms to break down and neutralize a large portion of phytic acid in grains.
All these are the reasons why we soak seeds in water.
