Paleo “Peanut Butter” Cookie Recipe From CarbSmart Grain-Free, Sugar-Free Living Cookbook
Peanuts have a mold called aflatoxin that has been studied as a carcinogen. Peanuts are technically a legume that contain lectins and phytates and cause digestive irritation. Traditionally, people soaked and sprouted beans, nuts, and seeds to reduce hard to digest properties but that has fallen out of fashion in our fast-paced culture. You can easily soak your almonds overnight then grind them to reduce anti-nutrients.
