sprouting seeds and nuts  Q: ABOUT SEEDS: In your granola
recipe, you indicate soaking sunflower/pumpkin seeds overnight
makes them living plants.   I had understood this (making them
living plants) didn’t happen until you could see the beginning
of sprouting.   Can you do this with flax seeds, soak them
overnight and add them to the green smoothie?   I was told if
you break/soften the hard shell of the flax seed, the body is
able to digest it, getting all the benefits.   Can you grind
flax seed and put it in the fridge to be used later?   A:
Soaking seeds makes them living, yes.   Plants?   Not quite yet.
 They’ve germinated even with just a few hours of soaking, and
their enzyme inhibitors (as well as  phytic acid) are
neutralized.   But the seeds are in the beginning stages of life
that fuel the growth of the plant–you’re stealing those
enzymes/vitamins/ minerals for yourself before
