Why nuts and seeds belong in your kitchen

Nuts and seeds are natural nutrient powerhouses whose health benefits can hardly be overestimated:

1. Healthy fats (the good ones!): They are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, especially omega-3 and omega-6. These are essential for heart health, brain function, and have anti-inflammatory properties.

2. High-quality protein: They are an important protein source, especially for vegetarians and vegans. A handful of almonds or pumpkin seeds provides valuable amino acids quickly and satiatingly.

3. Dietary fiber: It promotes healthy digestion, provides long-lasting satiety and keeps blood sugar levels stable (Goodbye, cravings!).

4. Micronutrient diversity: Depending on the variety, they provide large amounts of vitamin E, magnesium, zinc, selenium and calcium.
