Now that the general population is more aware of the health issues caused by trans fats, cholesterol and sodium, people are searching for ways to add beneficial fats to their diet. Omega-3 fatty acids, monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats are actually good for human health, lowering the risk of heart disease. These are found in many seeds and seed oils. New methods of health food packaging make it possible to enjoy them in cereals, cooking, baking and more!
The healthiest seeds are flax, sunflower, sesame, chia, hemp and pumpkin. The nice thing about seeds is that they are versatile. Many of them can be eaten raw in trail mix or cereals. They can also be ground to a fine powder and added to muffins, breads, smoothies and even sauces. When sealed tightly in a stand up bag, they are kept at their freshest – the most important consideration for health-conscious people.
