There’s a new superfood in the health and well-being universe — seeds. From sunflower, hemp, flax, chia to pumpkin seeds, once discarded seeds are being touted as the next superfood offering numerous health benefits because of their exceptionally high nutritional value. According to latest research, seeds are part of the protein food group, and half an ounce of seeds is the equivalent of one-ounce serving of meat, poultry and seafood.
“Seeds are the new superfood of the snacking world, and rightly so. They are rich in essential nutrients and low in fats, offering a guilt-free snack that nourishes body and mind. Among them, the superstars are flax, chia, and pumpkin seeds. They stand out because of their unique nutritional value — omega-3s, fibre, and antioxidants. I highly recommend including these three seeds in the family diet,” says Dr. Esther Sathiaraj, AgM, Clinical Nutrition and dietetics, HCg Hospital, Bangalore.
