These tasty lemon date balls are a great snack or dessert and are GAPS, SCD and Paleo-legal.
To make them friendly for places with nut-allergic children, substitute sesame seeds for the walnuts.
I recommend soaking nuts and seeds overnight to remove the digestion-inhibitory effects of phytic acid. Drain, rinse, drain again, then dehydrate until crunchy.
