Hi all,
I’m hoping for some neutral opinions and experiences.
I recently came across the concept of “activated” or fermented nuts and wondered whether there’s actually anything behind it in terms of digestion, or if it’s mostly marketing.
The reason I’m asking is that I recently tried some activated organic nuts from a German brand called 2DiE4 Live Foods. I ordered them while looking for sustainably produced organic food, not specifically because of the “activated” claim. I was quite sceptical at first.
That said, I was genuinely surprised. They tasted very fresh and, for once, I didn’t get the heavy, bloated feeling afterwards that I sometimes experience when eating nuts. Of course that could be coincidence, but it made me curious whether there’s something to the soaking/fermentation process.
I’ve never really heard of activated or fermented nuts before and don’t think it’s very common here in London.
Has anyone else come across this, or knows whether there’s any real nutritional or digestive benefit? Or is it just another food trend?
Thanks in advance 🙂
