Fermented nut and seed flour:

You can grind the fermented nuts/ seeds into flour and use for the baking recipes. But if you would like to eat them as is, dry them by spreading them out on a parchment-lined sheet pan and placing them in a 100°C oven or in a dehydrator.

But note - there is no need to dehydrate the fermented or soaked nuts or seeds before grinding for baking.
