A wholesome collection of nutrient-rich seeds for everyday nourishment and healthy meal variety.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The FOWA Seed Bundle is a carefully selected collection of seven versatile seeds, bringing together Chia Seeds, Flaxseeds, Deshelled Sunflower Seeds, White Sesame Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Black Seeds, and Basil Seeds.
This combination offers a variety of flavours, textures, and naturally occurring nutrients, making it a convenient addition to everyday meals, breakfast preparations, smoothies, snacks, and homemade recipes.
Each seed has its own distinctive nutritional profile. Chia and flaxseeds are known for their fibre and plant-based omega-3 fatty acid content, sunflower and pumpkin seeds provide naturally occurring healthy fats, protein, and minerals, while sesame and black seeds contribute their own unique plant compounds. Basil seeds are particularly valued for their ability to absorb liquid and develop a gel-like consistency.
Whether sprinkled over breakfast bowls, incorporated into smoothies, mixed into cereals, added to salads, or used in homemade seed blends, the FOWA Seed Bundle provides a practical way to enjoy a variety of seeds in your daily diet.

WHAT’S INSIDE THE BUNDLE
1. CHIA SEEDS
Small, versatile seeds with a mild flavour and impressive liquid-absorbing ability. When soaked, chia seeds develop a gel-like consistency, making them suitable for puddings, smoothies, breakfast bowls, cereals, and baked foods. They naturally contain dietary fibre, plant-based protein, and omega-3 fatty acids.
2. FLAXSEEDS
Also known as linseeds, flaxseeds are small seeds with a mild, nutty flavour. They are particularly recognised for their naturally occurring alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid, as well as dietary fibre and lignans. They can be enjoyed whole or ground in various food preparations.
3. DESHELLED SUNFLOWER SEEDS
These are sunflower seeds with their outer shells removed, leaving the edible kernels. They have a mild, nutty flavour and crunchy texture. They naturally provide vitamin E, plant-based protein, unsaturated fats, and minerals.
4. WHITE SESAME SEEDS
Small, cream-coloured seeds with a delicate nutty flavour and aroma. White sesame seeds are versatile culinary ingredients that naturally contain unsaturated fats, plant-based protein, calcium, and other minerals.
5. PUMPKIN SEEDS
Also known as pepitas when deshelled, pumpkin seeds are valued for their pleasant nutty flavour and crunchy texture. They naturally contain plant-based protein, unsaturated fats, magnesium, zinc, iron, and other nutrients.
6. BLACK SEEDS
Commonly known as black cumin or black caraway, black seeds are obtained from Nigella sativa. They have a distinctive slightly bitter, peppery flavour and contain naturally occurring plant compounds, including thymoquinone. They are traditionally used in different culinary and herbal preparations.
7. BASIL SEEDS
Small black seeds obtained from sweet basil and related culinary basil varieties, depending on sourcing. Basil seeds are particularly known for their ability to absorb water and develop a soft, gelatinous coating. They are commonly incorporated into beverages, puddings, desserts, and other food preparations.
