Healthy Seeds - Super Seeds

Healthy Seeds

Edible healthy seeds are small, organic and they are nutritional powerhouses that enhance a well-balanced diet!

Edible seeds vary in shape and size, they are all high in essential fatty acids (EFAs), plant-based protein, and fibre. Protein and fibre help to satisfy hunger and curb appetite, while healthy fats help to produce satiety (hunger) hormones that signal when you're full. Seeds also contain a variety of vitamins and minerals that can help with overall health promotion and maintenance.
