Dulce de Pecan - 220g

We source the best quality organic nuts & seeds which we then soak in filtered water and sea salt for 12+ hours, gently prompting the nuts to germinate. This process is called ‘activation’ and it triggers an innate enzymatic process which breaks down Phytic acid, the plants’ defence system against predators. 

Phytic acid is known to interfere with the body’s absorption of macro and micro minerals (Zinc, Iron, Calcium etc.) and can irritate the protective lining of the digestive tract. After the Activation process has been completed, the nut or seed is then dehydrated below 43°C - therefore maintaining it’s raw enzymatic qualities – for our nut-butters and spreads the nut is then finely ground for up to 72 hours in a stone mill.

As our nuts and seeds have been pre-soaked and thoroughly rinsed several times before and after activation, the salt content is minimal and dust & dirt particles have been washed away, meaning they are cleaner than the average organic nuts found on the supermarket shelf. They have also not been roasted, so do not contain any trans-fats due to heat damage. They are easier on the digestive system and lighter on the liver and gallbladder.
