Seeds Guide

Seeds are a rich source of healthy fats. Some of these seeds provide an appropriate amount of omega-3 fatty acids. Some are an abundant amount of calcium. The seeds have health benefits similar to nuts.

KEY RECOMMENDATION

  1. Variety: Include a variety of seeds in your diet. Choose at least 2 types of different seeds every day – one from each group of seeds.
  2. Soak: Soak all types of seeds 6-8 hours before eating. You can also soak seeds overnight.

SEEDS CATEGORIES

Based on the necessity of eating, we divide seeds into the following categories.

Essential Seeds (Group 1)

  1. Flaxseeds.
  2. Chia Seeds.
  3. Hemp seeds.
  4. Pumpkin seeds.

  2. Lotus seeds.
  3. Poppy seeds.
  4. Rockmelon (cantaloupe) seeds.
  5. Sesame seeds.
  6. Sunflower seeds.
  7. Watermelon seeds.

You should choose any 1-2 types of seeds from this list every week.
