    Why are nuts and seeds so healthy?

    Nuts and seeds are packed with nutrients that the body needs and are easy to get!

    Nuts are

    • Good sources of protein
      which are necessary to build and repair muscles, and bones, and to make hormones and enzymes.
    • High in good fats
      that your body needs, including monounsaturated fats or polyunsaturated fats which help lower the risk of developing heart disease, improve blood cholesterol levels, and more1.
    • Low in saturated fats
      that increase your risk for heart disease and stroke 2.
    • High in dietary fibre
      which aids in regular bowel movements.
    • Rich in vitamins and minerals
      that your body needs and loves.

    Plus, nuts have other benefits such as some being high in amino acids and they help us with weight management as they make us feel full3.

    Seeds, like nuts, are also

    • Rich in protein and minerals
    • High in healthy fats

    Plus some oily seeds contain antioxidants that are known to assist in reducing your heart disease and diabetes risk 4

    And nuts and seeds are easy to incorporate into your meals or cooking.

    Garden of Vegan makes it easy to eat more nuts and seeds with our healthy meals and pantry items.

    Garden of Vegan creates healthy meals that include nuts and seeds such as almonds, cashews, peanuts coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, yellow mustard seeds, sesame seeds, and more.
