Bruneus ACTIVATED NUTS

Many associate raw nuts with delicious snack foods loaded with protein, healthy fats, fibre and minerals like zinc, magnesium and calcium. However, did you know that raw nuts also contain natural chemicals, such as phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors, that can reduce your body’s ability to absorb important nutrients? Activated nuts are nuts that have been soaked in water and salt for a period of time, then dehydrated at a low temperature. Soaking starts the germination or sprouting process, which increases the nutrient value of the nuts, breaks down the problematic compounds and enhances digestibility. Bruneus Activated Nut Clusters are organically grown and made with natural ingredients with no additives or preservatives. They are deliciously addictive and great for snacking or as a topping on salads or smoothies. Now available at Essentials! BREAKFAST MUESLI (serves 4)
