Chia, sunflower, hemp, pumpkin, watermelon, flax, tomato, sesame—within the realm of seeds, the options are boundless. Beyond their variety, these small but mighty seeds are also rich in important nutrients. Seeds contain significant levels of essential fatty acids, protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants—which are vital to any healthy diet. And because they are so nutrient-condensed, you don’t need to eat many to reap their benefits. I like to keep several “seed jars” on my kitchen shelf to mix and match daily (hello, tahini desserts).
