Why Ayurveda Says You Should Peel Your Almonds
Nibodhi explains why soaking and peeling almonds boosts digestion and nourishment. Almond skins hold tannins that block enzymes and nutrient absorption. Soaking softens the skin, removes these compounds, and turns almonds into a true ojas rasayana for vitality and immunity.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Why almond skins block digestion
- How soaking removes enzyme inhibitors
- Ways almonds boost ojas and vitality
- How to make almond milk at home
- Who benefits most from peeled almonds
