Can anyone tell me why it’s always suggested to soak almonds overnight and eat them the first thing next morning aka “nihaar muun”. Why can almonds not be eaten raw? What does soaking actually does to almonds besides softening them up? 
If this isn’t the right place for this thread, feel free to move it where it actually belongs. I opened it up here because I was curious to know how are soaked almonds more healthy or better than raw almonds?
Re: Soaked Almonds
I thought the soaking was for taking the 'skin' off them. Thats what my daddi does anyway. She doesnt eat the skin. I have no idea why.
Re: Soaked Almonds
Apparently, soaking the almonds transforms the “beta starch” in almonds(hard to digest) into “alpha starch” (easily digested).
Also, soaking the almonds eliminates the anti digestive enzyme normally found in nuts…

And it is said that the peel interferes in the absorption of the nutrients found in the soaked almonds.
Very Interesting!
Thanks everyone!
I really never thought that it would be actually really better to eat almonds with their peel off.

And the reason to soak and eat almonds before breakfast is that they increase memory. That's what our college principal told us.
Thanks Frankie 
Re: Soaked Almonds
I have heard that it is sunnah to eat 3 almonds every morning (before or after breakfast, I don't know about that).
Someone told me that eating 3 almonds soaked in milk overnight, in the morning, will cure persistent headaches. The person who told me swears it works.
