Seeds as food

[miniwolf]

I've got a packet of seeds as I read, as a vegan, it's something I should be eating. What the hell do I do with them?! They just don't look appealing.

seeds, what kind of seeds?
you just eat them

I’m not vegan. Love seeds though. Toppings for soup, salads, add to porridge, caramelise and roast as you would with nuts, make tahini. Sure there are loads of ways to eat them, google is your friend.

What kind of seeds

It's a mix of sunflower, pumpkin, sesame & linseed

Most of them are nicer (actually delicious) if you toast them a bit first in a dry pan or with a tiny amount of spray oil.

Also adding a bit of soy sauce while toasting sunflowers seeds = lush.

you just eat them

I would expect them to be really dry in my mouth?!

Ok toasting and putting on a salad sounds quite good

A teaspoon of sesame oil or rapeseed oil, a tea spoon of soy sauce, crisp then up in a pan. I like to add extra spices but they are lovely as they are, too

Works well with edamame/soy beans as well

I’ve just made a vegan banana loaf with 30g or sesame seeds and 40g of pumpkin seeds added for texture. If they weren’t so calorific I’d eat seeds all day.
