Added benefit of soaking are increased enzyme activity, and digestibility. So I decided to give soaking a try on walnut. It does made a lot of difference. After soaking, I baked it at low temperature 150 degrees for three hours turning nuts every hour. I also added sweet and spicy sauce and cinnamon to give it some flavor. .
