Why Seeds?

​

Seeds are small, but mighty. Packed with essential nutrients, they’ve been used in traditional diets for centuries—and for good reason. On a non-grain diet, seeds are not just a substitute for grains—they’re a nutritional upgrade.

Nutritional Powerhouses

Seeds are concentrated sources of nutrients your body needs to thrive. Just a small handful can offer:

• Healthy fats – like omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids

• Plant-based protein – perfect for muscle repair and sustained energy

• Fiber – supports digestion and gut health

• Vitamins & minerals – such as magnesium, zinc, iron, B vitamins, and vitamin E

• Antioxidants – which help fight inflammation and protect cells from damage

Each seed has its own unique nutritional profile. For example:

• Chia seeds are rich in omega-3s and fiber

• Pumpkin seeds are packed with zinc and magnesium

• Flaxseeds support hormonal balance and are high in lignans

• Sunflower seeds provide vitamin E and selenium

Health Benefits

Incorporating seeds into your daily meals may help:

• Reduce inflammation

• Support heart and brain health

• Improve digestion and regulate blood sugar

• Strengthen the immune system

• Promote healthy skin, hair, and nails

They’re also naturally gluten-free and typically easier to digest than many grains.
