Seeds
All seeds are little 'power plants' of energy with all the nutrients, such as protein and vitamins, needed for development. In fact they are positively bursting with energy, so there's no surprise that these nutritional wonders can play an important role in any healthy balanced diet.

Sunflower Seeds
These could be considered a 'super seed'; they have it all, protein, vitamins, minerals and fibre.

Sunflower seeds are low in saturated fat, and contain a healthy combination of Omega 3, 6 & 9 essential fatty acids, crucial to the diet as the body cannot produce them itself - that's why they're called 'essential'. These 'good fats' are vital for cell maintenance and helping to regulate blood clotting, blood pressure, immune function and reproduction - all the birds and the bees stuff!

Sunflowers seeds are one of the best whole food sources of vitamin E, an antioxidant that mops up harmful free radicals, protecting our cells and cell membranes from damage and reducing our risk of serious diseases such as heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. If that's not enough for one little seed, they are also high in folic acid, selenium, iron and zinc, which are all essential for a healthy happy body.

Where to find them: Sunflower seeds can be found in our Savoury, spicy & breakfasty seedy Snacks.

Sesame Seeds
"Open sesame" - These tasty little seeds are high in calcium, healthy polyunsaturated fats, zinc, manganese, copper, Vitamin B1 and Vitamin E. We all know that we need calcium for strong, healthy bones and teeth, but did you know that half a cup of sesame seeds contains three times more calcium than half a cup of milk - interesting!

Zinc is needed for a strong immune system, so we need good supplies to protect us from all those bugs and infections that are always going around. Sesame seeds also contain plant compounds called phytosterols, associated with reducing cholesterol levels, and therefore lessening our risk of heart disease and strokes.

Where to find them: Sesame seeds can be found in most of our savoury snacks and our breakfast Munchy Granola.

Rapeseed
These tiny little round black oil seeds are easily recognised as yellow fields of gold in spring. Rape seed is rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, including your Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9, and are low in saturated fat.

Omega 3 essential fatty acids are also found in oily fish, but for those who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, rapeseed is a valuable food source. And why are omega 3's so valuable you ask? Well, firstly, they lower your cholesterol levels, which reduces your risk of cardiovascular disease (that's heart disease and strokes). Plus they can improve the symptoms in a number of inflammatory conditions such as, asthma, Crohn's disease, psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis, not forgetting joint problems and maybe helping to stem the bone loss in ladies after the menopause. Oh, and if you have a 'forgettery' instead of a memory, they can help with brain function too!

Where to find them: Rapeseeds are found in our Omega Mix

Pumpkin Seeds
A 'power pack' seed full of healthy benefits, they are rich in amino acids, iron, protein, phytosterols and immune-boosting zinc.

The rich source of essential fatty acids found in pumpkin seeds also helps to maintain healthy blood vessels, as do the plant compounds called phytosterols. The also contain phytoestrogens, plant chemicals with a structure rather like the hormone oestrogen, which have been found to help with balancing women's hormones, and also in helping to prevent heart disease.

Well, that's the P's dealt with, now for an interesting T. Tryptophan, an essential amino acid. Tryptophan has the ability to increase brain levels of serotonin, a so-called happy chemical which can help fight depression.

Where to find them: Pumpkin seeds are found in our Munchy granola, sweet pumpkin seed snacks and our savoury & spicy sprinkles.

Linseed
Linseed is the seed of the flax plant and is also known as flax seed, just to clear up any confusion. Another valuable addition to your diet, it's high in healthy polyunsaturated fats, folic acid (also known as folate), fibre, vitamins and minerals. All these are helpful in reducing inflammation and protecting against heart disease and arthritis.

Like rapeseed, linseed is a great source of omega 3 (a kind of polyunsaturated fat), that's suitable for vegetarians, or people who simply don't like oily fish.

Folic acid is especially important for ladies from pre conception to pregnancy to meet the needs of the developing baby.

Linseed has lubricating and bulking properties, so to put it delicately, will keep you nice and regular.

Where to find them: Linseed is found in our Omega & Cajun mixes and Munchy Granola.

Hemp Seeds
Hemp seeds are a super food, no doubt about it, with plenty of essential fatty acids and amino acids, necessary to maintain a healthy happy body. They have a good spectrum of amino acids, the building blocks of protein (great for budding athletes and vegetarians), and the ideal balance of Omega 3 and Omega 6 for your daily requirements of essential fatty acids. A complete package of goodness, great for your skin and hair.

Where to find them: Hulled Hemp seeds (no crunchy bits)! are found in our Omega mix
