Default Peeling bran off Brazil nuts. How?

The brown covering on Brazil nuts is the bran. Bran is where the phytic
acid is. Phytic acid is an anti-nutrient that reduces the absorbtion of
minerals. I'd like to get it off. I know soaking almonds works. But after
soaking my raw Brazil nuts for a couple days in the refrigerator I hadn't
gotten any place. Isn't there some baking that is done for hazelnuts?
