## What Are Activated Nuts?
Activated nuts — also called sprouted nuts — are raw organic nuts soaked in a spring water and sea salt brine, then gently dried at temperatures below 65°C over several days. This two-stage fermentation process initiates germination (sprouting), breaks down anti-nutrients like phytic acid by up to 60%, and increases the bioavailability of minerals (magnesium, iron, zinc). The result: better taste (natural umami), improved digestibility, and a satisfying crunch. All without preservatives or additives.

## The Science
- **Phytic acid reduction:** Soaking in salt water (pH 4.5-5.5) activates phytase enzymes, breaking down phytic acid that binds minerals like iron, zinc, and magnesium.
- **Stanford University (2021):** 10 weeks of fermented foods significantly increased gut flora diversity and reduced inflammatory markers.
- **PURE Study (2017):** Nut consumption reduces mortality by up to 23% (135,000 participants).
- **BMJ (Aune et al., 2016):** Daily nut consumption lowers heart attack risk by 29%, type 2 diabetes risk by 39%.
- **Matrix effect:** Nutrients in whole foods work synergistically with enzymes, fibre, and plant compounds — isolated supplements cannot replicate this.
