Nuts and seeds are so nutritious and bring so many health benefits. We should all be eating more nuts and seeds. The only problem with nuts is because of the rise in peanut allergy, there are some places where nut containing foods are not allowed. Nut Free policies are very common in Day Cares, Kindergartens and Primary Schools.

In many cases however seeds make a fantastic substitute, packed with protein, fats and micronutrients, seeds are just as nutritious as nuts.
