Introduction
Soaking the nuts in salt water before you roast them serves two purposes! First, it makes them very sweet because it removes some of the tannins and the corky bits that can make them slightly bitter; second, it gives them a little bit of a salty flavor and keeps them from drying out too much while they roast. The end result is roasted nuts that are sweet and spicy and plump! Soaking the nuts in salt water before you roast them serves two purposes!
