Nuts are designed by nature to pass through the body intact so they can take root and grow into new plants. This natural protective mechanism helps them retain their integrity but also makes it harder for us to access their full nutritional potential.
Through a process known as "activation," we unlock the goodness inside almonds. This involves soaking the nuts to release enzyme inhibitors and phytic acid, followed by low-temperature dehydration to preserve their natural enzymes and nutrients.
The end product is a light, crunchy nut that we think you will agree, is as super delicious as it is super nutritious. It's still not wise to overeat on nuts though, however good we've made them taste! The rule is to eat as many in a day as you can hold in the palm of your hand. They're great for snacking, in a home made trail mix, blended for a creamy nut milk, or crushed and sprinkled over a salad.

Our Activation Process: Nature designed walnuts to resist digestion, but our careful activation process changes that. We soak each batch to neutralize enzyme inhibitors and phytic acid, then gently dehydrate at low temperatures to preserve vital nutrients while creating an exceptionally crispy texture.
Ingredients
Organic Activated Walnuts (>99.9%), Celtic Sea Salt (<0.1%)

We only employ the most skilled fairy folk in the land, so we can confidently say that these nuts are as activated as they come.
