think of a caveman, and maybe you imagine someone tearing at the flesh of an animal they've just hunted. but this picture may be false – analysis of 1 2 suggests that stone age people were skilled in processing and cooking different kinds of seeds, even experimenting with different flavours. seeds are still an important part of our diets, so maybe food choices haven't changed as much as we think.
in botanical terms, seeds are what new plants grow from. 3 speaking, 4 seeds include nuts, pulses and grains, and are a significant source of protein and calories worldwide. between them, rice and bread are 5 foods in most of the world. many 6 use beans, whether cooked in 7 or 8, or 9 into pastes, like hummus from the middle east. this definition of seeds also includes coffee beans and the cocoa beans used to make chocolate.
added to these are culinary seeds. these are what we more often think of as seeds – we often buy them unprocessed and use them whole in cooking, whether as a 10, as part of a salad or as a topping for bread. this includes chia seeds, sesame seeds and flaxseed.
there are clear health benefits to including these seeds in our diet. they are high in dietary fibre, which is good for 11 and helps fight illnesses such as 12 and 13 cancer. they are also a good source of unsaturated fat. experts believe that using this to replace 14 fats, such as those from meat and dairy products, can lower 15 and help keep our heart healthy. the minerals contained in many culinary seeds, such as 16, 17, and folate, can be beneficial for the immune system.
however, it's not all good news. seeds can cause an 18 reaction, especially sesame seeds. sesame is one of the top ten causes of food 19 in the uk. different types of seeds can share allergy-causing proteins, and other seeds that can cause allergies include sunflower seeds and poppy seeds.
