1. Removes Anti-Nutrients for Better Absorption
The brown skin of almonds contains tannins and phytic acid, natural compounds that can block the absorption of important minerals like iron, zinc, and calcium.
Soaking loosens the skin and reduces these anti-nutrients.
Peeling almonds makes the nutrients more bioavailable, so your body absorbs them better.
This means you get more energy and nourishment from each almond.2. Easier on Digestion
Raw almonds with skin can sometimes feel heavy or cause bloating. The skin is rich in insoluble fiber that may be hard for some people to digest.
Soaking softens the nut and activates enzymes.
Peeling makes them gentler on the stomach.
