When you do heat up, uh, nuts and seeds and you're toasting them, you are losing some, uh, of the nutritional value to them, but not very much. We're talking about very microscopic amounts between those. Um, and quite honestly, the amount of flavor that you get out of roasting or toasting them, I would say kind of supersedes the nutritional value because it'll actually make you want to eat more of them at the same time and you're getting most of the nutritional value out of them as well. Um, like if you're, you know, going to like deep fry nuts or something like that, that would be probably something different where you'll get rid of a lot more of the nutritional value, but just giving them a toast until they're lightly brown in a, a tape pan or something like that, um, you're not gonna lose a lot of your nutritional value out of that. So, uh, I would, you know, definitely recommend doing it to be able to get the biggest flavor, um, out of those things, uh, um, as possible.
