Seeds and nuts are nutrient-dense, plant-based foods packed with healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Common examples include almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and cashews, often featured in cuisines worldwide, from Middle Eastern cooking to Asian dishes and Western snacks. They are excellent sources of heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants, supporting brain health, reducing inflammation, and aiding in weight management. Additionally, they provide essential micronutrients such as magnesium, zinc, vitamin E, and selenium. However, seeds and nuts can be high in calories, so portion control is important, particularly for those watching calorie intake. Opt for raw or dry-roasted varieties without added sugar, salt, or oils to maximize their health benefits. Versatile and delicious, seeds and nuts can be enjoyed on their own, blended into smoothies, added to salads, or used as toppings in various dishes.
