Organic Raw Sprouted Without Salt Red Walnut

(1 customer review)

These are sold shelled and sprouted for your convenience! They are raw and have not been treated or processed in any way, except naturally soaking in natural well water from Organic Handy Farms without salt and dehydrating for sprouting. Raw sprouted walnuts are best kept frozen. Since the oils are exposed, they break down rapidly by light and heat. If you are planning to consume soon, they will last over a month in the pantry.

These are so versatile. Walnuts are known for their ability to absorb flavors and smells. Add to smoothies to cream up a smoothie, a salad to add a little crunch, or even use as a meat substitute in vegan cooking. We hope you enjoy the fruits of our labor!

Recently, Handy Farms has discontinued sprouted without salt because of the following research:
Using salt when sprouting nuts serves several important purposes:
1. Inhibiting Mold Growth: The soaking process creates a moist environment that makes it highly susceptible to mold. Salt acts as a natural antimicrobial agent to help prevent mold and harmful bacteria from growing during the sprouting process.
2. Activating Enzymes: Soaking nuts with salt helps initiate enzyme activity. This causes anti-nutrients, like phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors, to break down. These anti-nutrients can interfere with the body’s ability to absorb minerals such as zinc, iron, and calcium. Soaking in salt water can help lead to the body absorbing these minerals better.
3. Improved Digestibility: Nuts contain enzyme inhibitors that make them harder to digest. Soaking with salt water helps neutralize these inhibitors, making the nuts easier for the body to digest and absorb nutrients.
4. Enhanced Flavor: The salt enhances the taste of the nuts, making them much more delicious once they are sprouted.
5. Mimicking Natural Conditions: In nature, seeds, nuts, and grains are exposed to moisture and minerals that help initiate germination. This can come from soil or rainwater, for example. Using salted water replicates these conditions and helps the nuts sprout properly.

    These raw sprouted red walnuts are so wonderful! The moment I run out of them, I order a new shipment, just cannot live without those. I add those nuts to my steel cut oats in the morning and nibble on those throughout the day. They are not only good for you but also mighty tasty and beautifully looking – unusual red color. I really appreciate that Handy Farms has “without salt” option for these sprouted nuts since my husband has to watch his blood pressure and needs to be careful about salt consumption. Thank you Handy Farms for this wonderful sprouted red walnuts!
