, or any nut of your choice)
2 cups of water
A pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions:
Bring Water to a Boil: Fill a pot with 2 cups of water and bring it to a rolling boil.
Add the Nuts: Once the water is boiling, add the nuts and a pinch of salt if desired. The salt can help enhance the nuts’ flavor.
Boil: Let the nuts boil for about 10-15 minutes. This will soften them and reduce the phytic acid content.
Cool and Rinse: After boiling, drain the nuts and rinse them under cool water. This helps remove any remaining phytic acid and salt.
Dry: Spread the nuts out on a baking sheet or a clean towel to dry. You can also toast them in the oven for a few minutes to add some crunch.

Boiled nuts can be enjoyed in many ways:
Snacks: Eat them as a soft, nutritious snack.
Baking: Use them in baking for a softer texture in cookies and cakes.
Smoothies: Add them to smoothies for a creamy texture and extra nutrition.
Salads: Toss them into salads for added flavor and health benefits.
