Plus they is usually enough to eat it the next day for lunch.

What Are Sprouted Almonds?

If you’re after another healthy and yummy almond snack, give sprouted almonds a go! Sprouted almonds are packed with nutrients and easy to digest. Almonds are spouted by soaking them for 24 hours which allows them to germinate. The sprouted almonds are then removed from the solution and slowly dried at a very low temperature with low humidity. This slow drying process destroys the enzyme inhibitors, releasing the full nutritional content of the nut and allowing the body’s natural enzymes to more easily digest the nuts. The sprouted almonds are also left with  A smooth, buttery flavour.
