What are activated nuts?
An activated nut is a nut that has been soaked and sprouted to release its enzyme inhibitors.

Why should nuts be activated?
Enzyme inhibitors prevent nuts from sprouting at inappropriate times. This is an evolutionary mechanism that ensures nuts only sprout when environmental conditions will support the growth of young plants. Phytic acid and oxalic acid are examples of enzyme inhibitors, and are found in varying ratios depending on the nut.Of the four seasons, springtime is when we see nature come to life. Environmental conditions support the germination of seeds into seedlings. Rainfall is responsible for deactivating the enzyme inhibitors, which when coupled moderate spring temperatures supports the growth of freshly germinated seedlings into young plants.

These enzyme inhibitors also prevent the nuts from being over eaten by animals in the wild. In humans' regular consumption of nuts with enzyme inhibitors, can result in digestive distress in much the same way gluten does. Constipation, stomach cramps and bloating are examples of some issues people have eating raw, unactivated nuts. This is why nut activation is an important process.

Raw Untoasted Nori (Sushi Nori)- Porphyra Yezoensis - Certified Organic

The toasted Nori sheets usually found in most shops and always in normal commercial sushi is green coloured and cooked at very high temperature and known to contain carcinogens caused by the high temperatures used in processing. We suggest you avoid this toasted nori. Instead, we suggest you use our Raw Nori Sheets which have been dried under 40° C and do not contain carcinogens.  This raw nori is the best available and is prized by raw and living food eaters. It has a delicious flavour, a dark brown/black colour and are of a stronger consistency which make them harder to tear than the toasted nori sheets.

How to use:
Sesame seeds are very versatile - use them to make dips or add them to yummy raw cacao chocolate balls, sprinkle them on salads or add them to a stir fry.
