4 super seeds to keep in your pantry

Keeping your pantry cupboards well-stocked, up-to-date and organized at the same time can be challenging; this is why we like to stick to the basics, with a few specialty items (like tahini or pomegranate molasses) that inspire us. This month's power breakfasts story had us spending a lot of time in the kitchen with a variety of super seeds (if you haven't tried our superfood baked granola or breakfast power bars, you're missing out), and these are the four we're never running low on again:

1. Hemp seeds (or hearts): Packed with protein, omega 3 and 6, and magnesium. Their nutty flavour makes them perfect for salads, smoothies, granola and as a base for non-dairy milk.

2. Chia seeds: Also packed with protein, these dark seeds are high in fibre, calcium and omega 3. They're easily digested, so they don't need to be ground before use, and are great in smoothies, oatmeal, granola and more.

3. Flax seeds:  Rich in fibre, phytonutrients and omega 3, we like to use them in bread, pancakes, muffins and porridge.

4. Pumpkin seeds: Also called pepitas, these seeds are big on protein, zinc and magnesium. We recommend trying them in salads, granola, pesto and homemade power bars.
