                                The ancient practice of soaking grains and nuts has been rediscovered by modern health food enthusiasts, who use the term 'awakened nuts' for their products. This process is said to mimic germination, breaking down natural enzyme inhibitors and phytic acid to improve digestibility and nutrient absorption. However, whether these benefits translate into a significant advantage for consumers is a subject of ongoing debate.
