Seeds, Tasty and Nutritious

Thanks to bodyunburdened.com for this great chart.

Did you know that eating raw flax seeds, hemp seeds and chia seeds reduces inflammation?

Here are some dishes that I like to add seeds to:

Chia Seeds: Leslie’s Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie

Sunflower Seeds: Lemony Quinoa Salad with Toasted Sunflower Seeds

Hemp Seeds: Hemp Walnut Pie Crust

Flax Seeds: Cinnamon Banana Pancakes

I love using seeds to make smoothies, dressings (dairy free) seed milks, and for quick snacking. Seeds are great raw and toasted for garnishes, and cooked in pilafs and stuffing. Flax seeds are great for vegan pastries, replacing eggs. Hemp seeds are more nutritious raw. And hemp, flax and chia provide us with Omega 3s fatty acids.

Enjoy some seeds today!
