Why seed crackers?
Besides being super easy to make, they are tasty and have many health benefits too.
What are the benefits of eating seeds?
- supports weight loss

- good source of plant-based protein
- high nutrient base
The 3 seeds that I use in my recipe are sunflower seeds, flax seeds and sesame seeds, all have great health benefits.
Flaxseeds are a great source of protein and fiber, as well as key micronutrients like manganese, thiamine and magnesium.
Sesame seeds are rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants
Sunflower seeds are an easy way to boost your intake of vitamin E, thiamine and manganese.
