Seeds are a great source of minerals they are also high in polyunsaturated fats and calories. For protein Pumpkin, sesame and sunflower seeds are best. Seeds contain iron, magnesium and zinc. Pumpkin seeds a good for the omega 6 and 3 fats and sesame seeds are a good source of calcium, with sunflower seeds are an important source of vitamin E. With some of the smaller seeds for example linseed and sesame a couple of seconds in a grinder is not a bad idea, just to break them up a bit or they can just "pass right" through.
Alfalfa - Alfalfa is high in protein, calcium, plus other minerals, vitamins in the B group, vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin K.
Flaxseed/Linseed - Flax seeds are a rich source of fibre and omega 3 fatty acids and very low in carbohydrates. To get the most out of flaxseed don’t forget to grind them before use.
Use - Flaxseeds can be added to many dishes including smoothies and shakes, fruit and yogurt or mix into pancake or muffin batter (you may need a little extra water due to Flaxseeds high fibre content). I normally add it as a sprinkle over my breakfast fruit, ground with Pumpkin and Sunflower seeds.
