Walnuts are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, making them a perfect addition to vegetarian and vegan diets. Source from the best, truly raw, certified organic walnuts, long-soaked in a saline solution of filtered water and Mountain Spring Salt. This activation process minimises or eliminates enzyme inhibitors, phytates (phytic acid), polyphenols (tannins), and goitrogens (all of which were added by Mother Nature to prevent the precious seeds being eaten and digested). A gentle drying process (at temperatures below 47ºC) ensures the nuts remain in their nutritious, raw state. The unflavoured Activated Walnuts allow you to appreciate the difference the activation process makes fully. Before activation, walnuts have a bitter aftertaste, which completely disappears after activation, leaving behind a really creamy nut!
