A delicious dose of selenium! This recipe for Brazil nut milk is made the proper way. It's hard to find a recipe out there for nut milk that states the importance of discarding the soaking water. All nuts, seeds, grains and legumes contain large amounts of toxic phytates. When you soak the aforementioned, the phytic acid is broken down, thus making the nuts much much better for your health. These naturally occurring phytates block the body from absorbing all the beneficial minerals and nutrients the nuts contain. Not to mention, are bothersome to the digestive system. more on this later...

2 cups of Raw Brazil Nutspinch of salt
