Whoever would have thought that there's a world of goodness locked up in the humble pumpkin seed?

Or that linseeds would prove to be an important source of omega-3 fatty acids - fats that deserve celebrity status due to the positive effect they have on the body.

Linseeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds can add variety to your diet and give your health a boost.

So, opt for that seedloaf next time or make a point of sprinkling a few seeds onto your breakfast cereal in the morning.
