The 'Magnificent Seven' of the Seed World

Let me begin by presenting to you what I affectionately term the 'Magnificent Seven Seeds', a selection celebrated not just for their nutritional value but specifically for their high fibre content.

• Flaxseeds: 8.2g (27.3g)

• Poppy Seeds: 5.85g (19.5g)

• Pumpkin Seeds: 5.52g (18.4g)

• Sesame Seeds: 3.54g (11.8g)

• Sunflower Seeds: 2.58g (8.6g)

• Hemp Seeds: 1.2g (4g)
