Fresh Earth Raw Activated Cacao Granola – 600g

R213.00

Our Raw activated cacao granola made with simple, real food ingredients. Dehydrated for 11 hours at 45 degrees Celsius to maintain it’s raw nutritional integrity.

The basic premise is that developing or activating nuts and seeds store their energy and nutrients as phytic acid, and that’s what it uses as fuel during periods of rapid growth, such as germination. Enzyme inhibitors stave that off, but along with phytic acid, they’re not super compatible with the human digestive system which then doesn’t receive the full payload of nutrients. The nuts and seeds are covered in filtered water for several hours, depending on the kind, then roasted at a low temperature until they are dehydrated. The effect of this process is a food that’s much easier for the body to benefit from, because there’s no barrier to nutrient absorption.

Description

What is activated?

Activated nuts have been soaked in water for around 12-24
hours to begin the germination process; and then often times
slowly dried again, so they’re still crisp. Nuts are plant seeds,
and soaking them for long enough can start the germination
process, which causes changes in the seed.

Why?

The idea is that activating the nuts helps to break down the
naturally occurring anti-nutrients, such as phytates in the nuts.
For those with gastrointestinal issues such as IBS, or anyone
on a diet that is high in foods that contain phytic acid,
activating nuts may help to improve digestion and nutrient
absorption, especially when consuming large amounts.
