Do I really have to soak these almonds over night?

Question

I have a recipe that calls for soaked almonds over night then air dried. But I'm hungry now! What will it do if I use them not soaked?

Answer 1

Eat something else.  If you don't soak almonds sufficiently, you will ingest the enzyme inhibitors that are toxic.  

Answer 2

lol...if u dont soak them then u wont be able to peel the skin off ....whearas if u leave them overnight they will just slide off x

Answer 3

the skin will still be on them if you dont soak them
