Why soak your nuts and seeds for the best granola ever?? By @wendythefoodscientist 1. Cleaner flavor: Soaking rinsing leaches some bitter tannins (especially in walnuts/sunflower seed), so the nutty taste is smooth and clean. 2. Crispier bite: Soaking improves texture because the nuts and seeds swell, and after drying it is more brittle, more porous. The result is super crispy. When to use it? For granola, roasted nuts, or any other recipe where you want extra crispy and tasty nuts/seeds How to
