Nuts and seeds are some of the healthiest foods in the world. What these superfoods lack in size they make up for with their versatility and incredible nutrient content.

According to experts, eating a handful of nuts (preferably raw) every day is good for your overall health. Nuts are rich in protein, fiber, antioxidants and essential nutrients, and they're also a good source of healthy fats for vegans and vegetarians.

Similarly, certain seeds such as Chia and Flax are excellent sources of protein, fiber, micronutrients and healthy unsaturated fats. Because of their high antioxidant content, the fats in seeds also don't easily go rancid. You can snack on some seeds on their own or mix them into drinks and recipes to support optimal nutrition.

In this feature article, you will learn all about nuts and seeds, what makes them incredibly nutritious and the many different ways you can incorporate them into your daily routine.
