Seeds are tiny nutritional powerhouses packed with essential vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and protein. Common types include chia, flax, pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame seeds, each offering unique benefits. They are rich in fiber, promoting digestive health, and contain omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain function. Seeds also provide important nutrients like magnesium, zinc, and antioxidants that help combat inflammation and maintain overall wellness. Popular in cuisines worldwide, they are often used in baking, smoothies, salads, or as a snack. Their origin and usage vary, with flax being a staple in ancient Mesopotamia and sesame featured prominently in Middle Eastern dishes. While generally healthy, seeds can be calorie-dense, so portion control is important. Additionally, some are high in omega-6 fatty acids, which should be balanced with omega-3s for optimal health. Incorporating seeds into your diet is an easy way to boost nutrition and flavor.
