Roasted Seeds

Roasted seeds are heat-treated seeds of various plants, most commonly sunflower, pumpkin, sesame, flax or hemp. Roasting enhances their flavour, aroma and gives them a pleasant crunch. In the kitchen, they are used as a topping for salads, soups, side dishes and baked goods, and are added to muesli, granola or yoghurt. They are a rich source of healthy fats, protein, fibre and minerals such as magnesium, zinc and selenium. You can easily prepare them at home, simply dry-toast them briefly in a pan or in the oven.
