Frequently Asked Questions About Walnut soaking water
What are the benefits of walnut soaking water?
Walnut soaking water has no well-established health benefits beyond those of eating walnuts. A small amount of water-soluble compounds may leach into it, but it does not provide the full nutrients found in the nuts.
How do you make walnut soaking water?
To make walnut soaking water, cover raw, unsalted walnuts with drinking water and leave them in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Rinse the walnuts with fresh water before eating them, and use the soaking water fresh.
When should you drink walnut soaking water?
You can drink walnut soaking water at any time; there is no proven best time to have it. Drinking it in the morning or before a meal has not been shown to give it special benefits.
Does walnut soaking water help with weight loss?
No, walnut soaking water does not burn fat or cause weight loss on its own. Unsweetened soaking water is low in calories, but replacing a sweet drink with it—not any special property of walnuts—may reduce calorie intake.
Does walnut soaking water lower cholesterol?
There is no good evidence that walnut soaking water lowers cholesterol. Studies on walnuts and heart health concern eating the nuts as part of a balanced diet, not drinking the water left after soaking them.
Does walnut soaking water contain nutrients from the walnuts?
Yes, walnut soaking water may contain small amounts of water-soluble substances from the nuts. Most of the walnut's fiber and much of its nutrition remain in the walnut, so eating the nuts provides more.
Is it safe to drink walnut soaking water?
Yes, it is generally safe to drink freshly prepared walnut soaking water if you are not allergic to walnuts. Soak the nuts in the refrigerator, use clean water, and discard the liquid if it smells sour or looks unusual.
Should you rinse walnuts after soaking them, or drink the soaking water?
Rinse soaked walnuts with fresh water before eating them. Drinking the soaking water is optional; rinsing removes some surface residue, while the water itself is not necessary for getting the benefits of walnuts.
How long should walnuts soak to make walnut soaking water?
Several hours or an overnight soak is enough to make walnut soaking water. Keep the walnuts refrigerated while soaking; leaving them in water longer does not make the drink more beneficial.
Can you use walnut soaking water in smoothies or recipes?
Yes, you can use fresh walnut soaking water in a smoothie or another recipe if it has been refrigerated during soaking. Its flavor may be slightly bitter, so taste it first and discard it if it smells or looks spoiled.

What is Walnut soaking water?
Walnut soaking water is the liquid left after walnuts have been soaked, usually to soften them before eating or using them in a recipe. It is not a widely established drink in most places; the walnuts are generally drained and the water discarded.
Its flavour is faintly nutty and its texture is much like plain water. You can sip it as it is or add it to a smoothie, though it will not bring the richness of the walnuts themselves. It is very low in calories—5 per 100 g—with only small amounts of walnut-derived fat and minerals. For a fuller taste and more substance, eat the soaked walnuts too; use fresh, clean water for soaking.
