Healthy Seed Crackers
Seeds are extremely nutrient dense by providing omega-3s, fiber, lignans, vitamins, phytonutrients, and some protein! These super simple seed crackers are great on their own, to dip, or as a side.
Ingredients and Benefits:
Pumpkin seeds: Rich in magnesium, tryptophan, and zinc. These contribute to healthy sleep, bones, and fertility.
Ground flaxseeds: Rich in protein, omega-3s, fiber, and lignans, which are all important for healthy hormones. I always buy mine ground for proper absorption.
Sesame seeds: Rich in calcium, protein, copper, fiber, and antioxidants for reduced oxidative stress and bone health.
Chia seeds: Rich in fiber, omega-3s, calcium, and antioxidants. This supports bone and digestive health.
