Omega-3 Seed Mix 100g

An omega-3 seed mix is a blend of nutrient-rich seeds designed to provide plant-based omega-3 fatty acids (ALA – alpha-linolenic acid), along with fiber, protein, and essential minerals. These mixes are popular as a convenient way to boost heart and overall health.

🌱 Common Seeds in Omega-3 Mixes

• Flaxseeds (linseeds) – one of the richest plant sources of omega-3s.
• Chia seeds – high in ALA, fibre, and antioxidants.
• Pumpkin seeds – add protein, magnesium, and healthy fats.
• Sunflower seeds – provide vitamin E and additional healthy fats.
• Sesame seeds – contribute minerals like calcium and zinc.

💪 Health Benefits

• Heart health: Omega-3s help reduce inflammation, support blood flow, and protect arteries.
• Brain function: ALA supports cognitive health, though conversion to EPA/DHA is limited.
• Digestive health: High fibre content aids gut function.
• Energy boost: Seeds provide protein and healthy fats for sustained energy.
• Skin & hair: Antioxidants and fatty acids promote healthy skin and hair.

🥗 Easy Ways to Use

• Sprinkle on salads, yogurt, or oatmeal.
• Blend into smoothies.
• Mix into bread, muffins, or granola.
• Enjoy as a crunchy snack on its own.

⚠️ Considerations

• Plant-based omega-3s (ALA) are beneficial, but the body converts them to EPA/DHA (the forms found in fish) only in small amounts.
• Best combined with a balanced diet that includes other omega-3 sources (like fatty fish or algae-based supplements for vegans).
