Pumpkin seeds pack 35% of an adult’s daily magnesium needs and 8.5 grams of protein.

Sunflower seeds are rich in antioxidants, offering more than 10 milligrams of vitamin E per ounce.

Pine nuts are also high in healthy unsaturated fats, including pinolenic acid, which research suggests may help reduce inflammation.

Flaxseeds stand out for high amounts of alpha-linolenic acid ( ALA ), a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid that may help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Chia seeds have a mild flavor so they likely won’t alter the taste of your food.

Just 1 ounce of sesame seeds provides nearly 5 grams of protein and more than 3 grams of fiber.
