HUMANS CANNOT DIGEST RAW SEEDS!!
(for sound biological/physiological reasons)


BIRDS and SQUIRRELS CAN
(also for good gut-reasons)

Seeds have an unwavering aspiration to grow into trees, vines and bushes, so they zealously protect their seed shelf-life and germination potential with several naturally-occurring chemicals, phytates (phytic acid) being the most common. These “anti-nutrients” are harmful to humans, and must be neutralised in order to facilitate digestion and full access to nutrients, especially to minerals. Even proteins, carbohydrates and maltose are allergenic if not pre-fermented, pre-digested in some way - just as the complex protein gluten (in wheat) is, if not given the appropriate time to transform into its excellent alter-ego – that of a wonderful vegetable protein. We humans can not digest raw nuts!! And roasting them just makes it worse.

Far better that we eat Activated nuts and seeds, long-fermented grains and bread doughs, long-soaked beans - nuts that have been pre-soaked in water, whey and salt, then eaten damp and swollen, or dehydrated (dried) back to crunch state at low temperatures that do not kill the activated, cultured life – which is how we do it here. The food alchemists at 2die4 Live Foods have created a range of Activated nuts and seeds, in which you may guiltlessly and healthily indulge – nuts and seeds freed of anti-nutrients and other toxins - with all minerals and vitamins accessible, and the brilliant vegetable proteins, carbohydrates, and other nutrients having been enzyme-converted, via our exclusive natural fermentation process, into their non-allergenic, pre-digested states.
From a fiend to a friend in a ferment - the Greek word for which means “alchemy”
