Fermenting nuts?

[Polo]

Hello Everyone.

I am considering to ferment a jar of only walnuts but do not know, if that is possible, or the high fat-content will go rancid and spoil the batch.

Have any of you tried it?

This is what I had in mind: Soaking the walnuts overnight and then dump them whole in a brine of 3 % salt.

If you check out Wise Traditions you can see a recipe for crisped nuts similar but a bit different than you are talking about. Weston Price site has a lot of good fermenting ideas.

I make pickled walnuts but never fermented. So is it possible?

On a related note, I would like to get some advice on muesli.

I often soak oats and walnuts as well as other mixed nuts and dried fruits. I soak for a day or so, but the family eats it all by about the second day.

So I made a huge one and it went a bit sour. I still ate it. But then it went really sour and we threw it away.

Then I read somewhere that these things are more nutritious when soured.

I would love to hear from an expert about this?

I am very interested in this because we grow walnut trees. We have been pickling them in their shells in vinegar, but has anyone got any info about fermenting them in their shells?
