Re: oatmeal...       04/16/03 01:41 PM Edit Reply Quote TessLouise Reged: 01/21/03 Posts: 540 Loc: Nashville, TN Here, I'll type up the recipe's author's explanation: "All grains contain phytic acid ... in the outer layer or bran. ... Soaking allows enzymes, lactobacilli, and other helpful organisms to break down and neutralize phytic acid. As little as seven hours of soaking in warm acidulated water [as in the oatmeal recipe] will neutralize a large portion of phytic acid in grains. The simple practice of soaking cracked or rolled cereal grains overnight will vastly improve their nutritional benefits. ... During the process of soaking and fermenting, gluten and other difficult-to-digest proteins are partially broken down into simpler components that are more readily available for absorption." from _Nourishing Traditions_, pp. 452-3 I hope that helps--sorry I wasn't clear before--and if you do try the process, let us know how it goes!
