Soaking nuts/seeds

Karen22

I know someone already posted a topic about this, but I can not find it. I am soaking some almonds right now for Kandace’s Apple Cookies recipe and I’m wondering whether I can just leave them on the counter or do they need to be placed in the fridge? Also, after soaking and drying any type of nut or seed do they need to be used right away or can the last a while? Thanks for your help guys!

I don’t know about others but I soak mine in water covered with a saucer on the side overnight and I like to use mine straight away or at least the next day as I sometimes find they discolour, especially cashews, and look slimy.

Just my 2p worth! :)

You can leave them soaking for about 2 days, but after that, they need t be kept in water in the refrigerator.
