How to Soak Sesame Seeds (5 Steps)
Raw food enthusiasts (and all food enthusiasts) love sesame seeds because they are an excellent source of magnesium, iron and calcium, and they can be used in a variety of dishes. Soaking sesame seeds before eating allows you to germinate the seeds, which aids in digestion. It also expels any latent toxins within the seeds. Experts claim that soaking sesame seeds also promotes the absorption of minerals to your body. Soaking sesame seeds also discourages the presence of phytic acid, which is thought to make the seeds taste bitter and lower their nutritional benefits.
