After I soak almonds, can I flavour them before I dry them?

I am looking at maybe sweetening them with honey before they go into the dehydrator. Has anyone tried this?

I'm confused. Why are you hydrating them, then dehydrating them?

 

[miss_thenorth]

You soak nut/grains to remove the emzyme inhibitors and to neutralize the phytic acid. http://www.thenourishinggourmet.com/2008/07/soaking-nuts.html

Then you dry them to make them crispy to eat them. Usually I just leave them salty, but this time IA want to add a sweet favour to them.

I flavor mine first

Ok, so do you wanna share how? I have been googling, but have found nothing. I'd really like them to bw sweet salty. Please share?!?

i usually do dry spice mix and shake the rinsed nuts in it and bake it.

I think I'd try watering the honey down a little to make it coat the nuts a bit more lightly, plop the soaked nuts in the honey mixture, then strain them out and dehydrate. You can use the leftover honey/water in something else, like your tea or something. A black bean cake, maybe.

I suppose it won't hurt to try. I haven't soaked the nuts yet, but will tomorrow. In the dehydrator, they are not gonna burn anyways, so I'll try it. thanks.
