5 bowls of seeds - 5 Healthy Seeds and How to Eat Them

Welcome to the Go Nutrients blog, where we strive to provide high quality content in addition to our leading brand of liquid nutrients. Health and fitness go hand-in-hand to provide a healthy lifestyle.



Healthy seeds contain all the nutrients and power to produce plants hundreds of times their size, and so it makes perfect sense to hijack that potential yourself by adding some to your diet.

Seeds are rich in unsaturated fats and much-needed vitamins and minerals. The question is really not whether you should get a little seedy, it’s which seeds you should go for – and the tastiest way to add them into your life.

Chia Seeds

The constant need to label anything and everything a superfood might have led to chia seeds’ benefits being overstated, but they are undoubtedly a nutritional powerhouse. A couple of tablespoons provide 10g of fibre – a third of your daily target – as well as plenty of healthy unsaturated fats and protein.

How to use them: Chia seeds are pretty much tasteless, so you can sprinkle them liberally over anything from baked goods to smoothies.

Pumpkin Seeds

A great source of a wide variety of vitamins and minerals, pumpkin seeds also contain plenty of protein and a boatload of unsaturated fats. Really quite a lot of fat, in truth, so be careful not to end up pumpkin-shaped yourself.

How to use them: Perhaps the most delicious of all the seeds, roast them up and add to porridge or a stir-fry, or sprinkle them with salt and gorge on the seeds by themselves. Although clearly this is the less-healthy option.

Sunflower Seeds

If it’s vitamin E you’re after, and any fans of healthy skin and eyes will be, sunflower seeds are your best bet in the world of kernels. A couple of tablespoons of these healthy seeds will net you over half your recommended daily intake of vitamin E, as well as a decent whack of protein and healthy fats.

How to use them: Like pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds are a tasty snack by themselves, even if you don’t salt them. They also spruce up a fruit-and-yogurt breakfast.

Hemp Seeds

The protein kings of the seed world, a couple of heaped tablespoons will net you 10g of the stuff, and like many of its seedy brethren, hemp is also chock-full of unsaturated fats.

How to use them: Hemp seeds can be added to bread and salads, but the truly adventurous might also fancy making their own hemp milk by blending the seeds with water.

Linseeds (also known as Flaxseeds)

A similar nutritional profile to chia seeds, providing a bounty of healthy fats, protein and fibre, but without as much hype, so linseeds are generally a bit cheaper. Flaxseed also contain an element that has been proven to help combat depression.

How to use them: Linseeds have a nutty flavor and are an excellent addition to salads or porridge, or even a homemade coleslaw.
