Soaked almonds are generally better for nutrition absorption. Soaking almonds overnight removes their tannin-containing skin, which slightly inhibits the absorption of certain minerals. Soaked almonds also become easier to digest and may release more Vitamin E and magnesium in a bioavailable form. For post-workout or morning recovery routines, 8 to 10 soaked almonds before breakfast is one of the simplest evidence-based nutrition habits you can build.
