Notes
While the benefits of soaking and or spouting nuts and seeds (like flaxseed) may be well understood, the benefits of soaking dates are not as appreciated.
The reason for soaking the dates in this recipe is to make them more digestible and lend to a smoother consistency. You can skip the soaking the dates, however the flaxseeds should definitely be soaked for the best results.
