In my posts, I cover some ingredients that have natural “toxins” that need to be cooked out before that ingredient is eaten. They are not poisonous, but they can cause indigestion, etc.
Besides removing toxins there are 3 main reasons that we soak ingredients.
- The first reason is that soaking your ingredients allows them to cook faster.
- The second is that soaking your ingredients helps to improve the texture once they are cooked.
- Finally, soaking your ingredients can make them easier to digest.
