Do soaked almonds need to be dehydrated if you are just planning to bake with them immediately? (I would be incorporating mine into a pie crust that uses almonds, coconut oil, and dates -blended in a food processor and stopping just short of almond butter before pressing into a pie dish and baking.) So, is it possible to still soak but skip the dehydrating step?

Jenny,
I have learned so much from your site.
I live in Mexico, so obviously tortillas are a big part of my family’s diet. I find it really sad that a traditional food such as this has been so corrupted by industrial processes. I live in the country, so by carefully questioning people around here about whether or not they save seed from year to year I was finally able to find non-GMO corn. (It’s blue!). I have bought a hand grain mill and plan to make my own tortillas from now on. I do have a question that I hope you can help me with. I have read about soaking grains in an acidic solution to make them healthier and easier to digest. Here, however, corn is traditionally soaked with lime (or nixtamalized). Lime is alkaline, so I was wondering if it would still have the same beneficial effects.
I also have one other question. I am in the process of finding access to pasture raised meat (beef and chicken), but in the meantime is it best to stick to a vegetarian diet rather than consume conventional meats?
I would appreciate any input you might have.
Thank you so much for helping me nourish my family – I am loving you Get Cultured course!
