Seed Power: Sunflower, Flax, and Basil Seeds for Health
Small but mighty! Explore the incredible health benefits of our top-selling seeds: Sunflower, Flax, and Basil. Learn how to easily incorporate these nutrient-dense superfoods into your daily diet.
The Power of Seeds: Tiny Giants of Nutrition
Seeds are the starting point of life, and they are packed with all the nutrients a plant needs to grow. This makes them incredibly nutrient-dense foods for us. At Organic Market PH, we offer a variety of raw, organic seeds that are perfect for boosting the nutritional value of your meals. Let's dive into three of our favorites: Sunflower, Flax, and Basil Seeds.
Sunflower Seeds: The Vitamin E Champion
Our raw sunflower seeds are mild, nutty, and crunchy. They are one of the best natural sources of Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that protects skin and cells from damage. They are also rich in healthy fats, protein, and magnesium.
How to Use: Sprinkle on salads, add to homemade granola, or blend into sunflower seed butter.
Flax Seeds: The Omega-3 Warrior
Flax seeds are famous for their high content of Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA), a plant-based Omega-3 fatty acid essential for heart and brain health. They are also the richest dietary source of lignans, which have cancer-fighting properties.
Pro Tip: Ground flax seeds are easier for your body to digest and absorb than whole seeds. Add ground flax to oatmeal, smoothies, or use as an egg substitute in vegan baking.
Basil Seeds: The Cooling Superfood
Often confused with chia seeds, basil seeds (Sabja) are black and tear-shaped. When soaked in water, they swell and form a gelatinous coating. In Ayurveda, they are prized for their cooling properties, making them perfect for tropical climates like the Philippines.
Benefits: High in fiber, aids digestion, and helps reduce body heat.
How to Use: Soak in water for 15 minutes until they bloom. Add to lemonade, juices, falooda, or yogurt for a fun texture and health boost.
