The familiar edible seeds that are bursting with nutrients include sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds, as well as chia seeds. Others, not as familiar, are flax seeds, hemp seeds, and sesame seeds. All of them pack a nutritional wallop, and sunflower and pumpkin seeds are definitely great for snacking. Scroll down to read the post by Cemile Kavountzis<\/a><\/strong> that explains why seeds are literally bursting with nutrients!<\/p>\n

\"Seeds<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever sat in the bleachers watching a baseball game crunching on sunflower seeds \u2014 most MLB dugouts have bucketfuls of them \u2014 you already know the pleasures of these simple snacks. But the seduction of edible seeds doesn\u2019t stop there.<\/p>\n

Many edible seeds are nutritional powerhouses, with nutrients like\u00a0plant-based protein, filling\u00a0fiber,\u00a0healthy fats, and essential\u00a0vitamins, and minerals. Plus, they can be great alternatives for people with nut allergies.<\/p>\n

But you only need a few spoonfuls to get the benefits of most edible seeds, which tend to be high in calories relative to their volume. \u201cIt\u2019s best to keep your portions moderate,\u201d advises\u00a0Tanya B. Freirich<\/a>, MS, RD, CDN, CDE lead dietitian nutritionist at\u00a0Sweet Nova<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. Chia Seeds<\/h2>\n

\"chia<\/p>\n

High in:<\/strong>\u00a0Fiber, magnesium, omega-3s, phosphorus<\/a>, selenium<\/p>\n

Chia seeds are among the\u00a0richest plant sources<\/a>\u00a0of omega-3 fatty acids on Earth. They\u2019re also packed with fiber and a number of minerals.<\/p>\n

Kids born in the \u201980s got their introduction to chia sprouts with kitschy,\u00a0terra-cotta pet planters<\/a>\u00a0(be grateful if you had a\u00a0Tamagotchi<\/a>). They are indeed the same chia seeds, but you should never snack on the packet included with a Chia Pet because they\u2019re not approved for consumption.<\/p>\n

Edible chia seeds were a staple crop of ancient Mexico and Guatemala, offered to the Aztec gods. Now they\u2019re revered for their\u00a0superfood\u00a0status.<\/p>\n

\u201cChia seeds can absorb up to\u00a012 times their weight<\/a>\u00a0in liquid, which is what helps make\u00a0chia pudding\u00a0or a thick smoothie,\u201d says Freirich. \u201cBut they don\u2019t need to be soaked; you can drizzle them right onto salads or cereal.\u201d<\/p>\n

2. Pumpkin Seeds<\/h2>\n

\"pumpkin<\/p>\n

High in:<\/strong>\u00a0Magnesium, phosphorus, zinc<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition to offering healthy fats and fiber, pumpkin seeds are a good source of protein. In Greece, where the\u00a0Mediterranean diet\u00a0helps to promote heart health,\u00a0roasted pumpkin seeds\u00a0are a common snack nicknamed \u201cpassatempo,\u201d or pastime.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though roasted pumpkin seeds are delicious, their healthy fats\u00a0start to break down<\/a>\u00a0after 20 minutes of roasting in the microwave,\u201d Freirich says. \u201cLimit microwave roasting time to around 12 minutes for the most nutritious results.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also, eating the shell with the seed can also increase the amount of fiber and\u00a0zinc\u00a0you get from pumpkin seeds.<\/p>\n

3. Flax Seeds<\/h2>\n

\"edible<\/p>\n

High in:<\/strong>\u00a0Fiber, magnesium, omega-3s, thiamin<\/a><\/div>\n

Like chia and hemp seeds, flax seeds (a.k.a. linseeds) are\u00a0among the richest sources<\/a>\u00a0of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential omega-3 fatty acid. Along with this\u00a0\u201cgood\u201d fat, they deliver soluble and insoluble fiber and\u00a0lignans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cLignans are powerful antioxidants,\u201d says Amy Shapiro, MS, RD, CDN, of\u00a0Real Nutrition<\/a>\u00a0in New York. In fact, flaxseeds actually contain\u00a075 to 800 times more lignans<\/a>\u00a0than many other plant foods.<\/p>\n

Recent studies have positively linked flaxseeds to\u00a0cardiovascular health<\/a>,\u00a0blood sugar<\/a>, and even\u00a0some types of cancer<\/a>. One common mistake people make with flaxseeds is eating them whole.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to eat ground flaxseed for your body to absorb the omega-3s,\u201d says Frierich. \u201cYou can\u00a0buy ground flaxseed<\/a>\u00a0from the store, but it has a shorter shelf life than whole ones, so as an alternative, you can easily grind them at home in a spice or coffee grinder.\u201d<\/p>\n

4. Hemp Seeds<\/h2>\n

\"hemp<\/p>\n

High in:<\/strong>\u00a0Magnesium, phosphorus, zinc<\/a><\/p>\n

Unlike poppy seeds, which in very rare cases could potentially cause you to\u00a0fail a doping test<\/a>\u00a0owing to trace amounts of morphine, hemp seeds won\u2019t get you into trouble \u2014 or get you high. It\u2019s true that hemp is a close cousin to marijuana in the Cannabis plant family, however it has much\u00a0lower concentrations of THC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition to being\u00a0magnesium\u00a0rich, hemp seeds are also\u00a0easier to digest<\/a>\u00a0than some grains, nuts, and legumes. They also boast\u00a0anti-inflammatory properties<\/a>, which is why they\u2019re sometimes\u00a0recommended<\/a>\u00a0for people with eczema, according to Shapiro. They also deliver some heart-healthy omega-3s,\u00a0fiber, iron, and potassium<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5. Sesame Seeds<\/h2>\n

\"sesame<\/p>\n

High in:<\/strong>\u00a0Calcium, iron, magnesium<\/a><\/p>\n

Sourced from a flowering plant, sesame seeds grow in long pods similar to okra. They have a delicious nutty flavor that makes them a popular topping on everything from sushi rolls to bagels, and they provide antioxidant-powered\u00a0lignans<\/a>, protein, and other minerals.<\/p>\n

Tahini paste, which helps turn chickpeas into delicious hummus and makes a great base for tasty salad dressings, is made from crushed sesame seeds. The Japanese also make a tahini-like paste called \u201cnerigoma.\u201d As an alternative to nuts, tahini has become a hot ingredient recently for its nutty flavor.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0Sunflower Seeds<\/h2>\n

\"sunflower<\/p>\n

High in:<\/strong>\u00a0Phosphorus, vitamin E<\/a><\/p>\n

Baseball lore links the history of\u00a0sunflower seeds<\/a>\u00a0in dugouts to a health-conscious swap for chewing tobacco. However, unlike chaw, sunflower seeds are\u00a0rich in vitamin E<\/a>, which acts as a powerful\u00a0antioxidant<\/a>\u00a0in the body, and has been shown to have benefits for\u00a0endurance exercise<\/a>. Sunflower seeds are also a good source of vitamin B-6,\u00a0zinc<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0iron.<\/p>\n

Vitamin B-6<\/a>\u00a0helps support immune and protein metabolism, and some\u00a0studies<\/a>\u00a0have even linked it to a reduction in PMS symptoms. So, that happy-looking field of sunflowers could actually make you feel sunnier.<\/p>\n

Benefits of Seeds<\/h2>\n

Edible seeds are like nature\u2019s sprinkles, filled with nutritional goodness you can mix into yogurt or oatmeal, shake over a salad, or blend into a smoothie. You can consume them raw, toasted, or roasted depending on the particular seed, and use them to amp up the dietary value of what you\u2019re eating.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeeds are full of heart healthy fats,\u201d Shapiro says. \u201cThey can also help balance blood sugar levels and\u00a0hormones<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
