Why Seeds?

Why Seeds?

   At Blake's Seed Based, seeds are in all of our products! We choose to use seeds, not only because they are an allergy safe alternative to nuts, but because seeds are a superfood that are filled with vitamins and minerals.

Seeds provide a plant-based source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats that are essential to fuel the body to #SeedYourPassion. Seeds are also more environmentally friendly than nuts because they require less water to grow. Believe it or not, nuts are one of the most water intensive crops and can leave a distinctive impact on our environment.

Flax seeds are loaded with omega-3 fats, protein, lignans, and fiber. These seeds also contain alpha-linolenic acid which is an omega-3 fatty acid only obtained through certain foods people eat. The lignans that flax seeds contain have antioxidants that may help prevent some types of cancer. Flax seeds can additionally help lower cholesterol and blood pressure.
