Types of Seeds

 

Seeds are tiny nutritional powerhouses that offer a wide range of health benefits and can easily be incorporated into everyday meals. ​

​​​

Sunflower and pumpkin seeds are popular for their rich content of healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals like magnesium and zinc.

 

Flaxseeds and chia seeds are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, supporting heart and digestive health.

 

Hemp seeds provide a complete protein profile, making them a great plant-based protein source.

 

Sesame seeds are packed with calcium and antioxidants, while watermelon seeds - often overlooked - are surprisingly high in iron and magnesium.

 

Wild rice, though technically a grass seed, is rich in protein and adds a nutty flavor to dishes.

 

Buckwheat and quinoa are two seeds commonly mistaken for grains; both are naturally gluten-free and rich in fiber, plant protein, and essential nutrients, making them excellent choices for heart health and blood sugar control.

​

Fenugreek and black cumin are aromatic seeds commonly used in traditional remedies and cooking; they are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and potential to support metabolic health. Including a variety of these seeds in your diet can contribute to overall well-being, offering both flavor and function.
