Types of Nuts and Seeds and Their Health Benefits

submitted by Botanic on 02/24/18 1

Nuts and seeds are a high energy dense fuel source, packed with concentrated protein, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, fiber and other nutrients unique to the specific varieties. They are the perfect addition to a vegan, raw vegan or vegetarian diet, providing a quality alternative to many meat-based foods. The types of seeds and nuts we are referring to are raw shelled or unshelled assortments that have not been high heat steamed or fumigated with chemicals to "sanitize" them. These are also selections that have not been toasted, dry roasted or salted, but are minimally processed straight from the tree or plant from which they are derived. Learn more about raw Vs. pasteurized, the most beneficial ways to consume them and the benefits and nutritional composition of some of the top seed and nut varieties.
