Making homemade almond butter is super easy and you can be sure you’ll always have some on hand when you need it. And, you can take an optional step to make it even more nutritious by soaking the almonds ahead of time. Soaking the almonds neutralizes the enzyme inhibitors and increases beneficial enzymes. You don’t really know if this step has been taken when you buy store bought almond butter, so when you make it yourself, you know it’s as nutritious as possible.
How To Make Homemade Almond Butter
Ingredients
- 3 cups organic raw almonds (soaked overnight and dehydrated)

I also would appreciate understanding what you mean by dehydrating 24 hours. Does it have to be in a "dehydrater"?

Hey guys, great post! What is the alternative if you don\’t have a dehydrator?
