Tip of the Week: Adding seeds to a salad or stir fry is a quick and easy way to get more iron, protein and fibre in your diet.
  • Sesame seeds are rich in fibre, protein, iron, calcium and B vitamins.
  • Pumpkin seeds are very high in iron and are also a good source of protein, fibre and other nutrients such as manganese.
  • Flax seeds are very high in fibre and are a good source of protein, iron and B vitamins.
  • Sunflower seeds are high in fibre, protein and iron. They are also a good source of vitamins B and E and contain high levels of dietary minerals.

Seeds are particularly important in the diets of vegetarians and vegans as important sources of iron and protein.
