Please Name the Enzyme Inhibitors!
I bumped into this link: http://www.acneboard.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=142
I read that germinating does NOT remove all phytic acid. I thought phytic acid was an enzyme inhibitor? I have to check my Nutrition book. Yikes, that changes several things for me.
Please Name the Enzyme Inhibitors!
wow-very informative- thanks!
Wow, I just read the response from Maleko & RRM... "Some nuts contain very little enzyminhibitors (Brazil nuts, macadamia nuts), while others contain more (walnuts) or much more (chestnuts). "
...still so much to learn.
I just found a really great chart for soaking times for nuts, grains and seeds. It also tells which ones DO NOT need to be soaked.

Thank you for the link. Hazelnuts are not on the list... but it does say not to soak Brazil Nuts. Does less soak time imply less enzyme inhibitor?
I guess the question still remains... which nuts have which enzyme inhibitors (and what are the names of the inhibitors)?
