LEAP Food® filberts (hazelnuts) are made from organic filberts and free from chemical treatment. They have been sprouted and dehydrated making them very digestible, nutritious, and alkalizing. All the work has been done for you. Just buy and use.
Source and Processing
LEAP Food® unpasteurized filberts (aka hazelnuts) are made with organic filberts. They have been sprouted then dried at 110°F. This process makes nuts and seeds crunchy while bringing out their sweet, nutty flavor!
Benefits
Filberts are rich in energy, minerals, vitamins, proteins, and other nutrients. The consumption of heart healthy nuts has been shown to lower cholesterol and heart disease. Further research has also demonstrated their ability to act as an antioxidant and help lessen after meal surges in blood sugar.
Sprouting causes a useful breakdown of complex compounds, transforming them into essential combinations that are far more digestible than in their raw state. Amino acids/protein and nutritious fat, fiber, and total vitamin and mineral contents improve with the sprouting process.
Sprouting removes the raw filbert’s enzyme inhibitors that can cause digestive problems, while activating digestive enzymes to assist your body in digesting the nut/seed’s nutrients. Sprouting also removes the water-soluble phytic and oxalic acids in nuts and seeds that can block the assimilation of some nutrients.
Herbalists such as the famed Isabel Shipard have been proponents of such techniques to “cure” nuts and seeds. The digestive enzymes can serve as catalysts for growth and health. “Alive” sprouts also produce critical systemic enzymes, which work in your body to give maximum effects for better health.
Imagine how much time you will save buying our sprouted nuts and seeds! Sprouting and dehydrating can take a few days. With LEAP Food® sprouted nuts and seeds you just buy and eat them. .
