Seedpõhised

Seedpõhised is an Estonian term that translates to "seed-based" or "based on seeds." It most commonly refers to a type of diet or food preparation that emphasizes the inclusion of seeds as a primary component. This can encompass a wide variety of seeds, such as sunflower, pumpkin, flax, chia, sesame, and hemp seeds, among others.

The concept of seedpõhised eating often aligns with broader dietary trends that prioritize whole foods and nutrient-dense ingredients. Seeds are recognized for their rich nutritional profiles, offering a good source of healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Incorporating them into a diet can contribute to satiety, support digestive health, and provide essential nutrients.

In practice, seedpõhised approaches might involve consuming seeds raw, toasted, or incorporated into various dishes. This could include adding them to smoothies, yogurts, salads, baked goods, or using them as a base for spreads and sauces. The versatility of seeds allows for their integration into both sweet and savory culinary applications. The term is generally descriptive of a dietary focus rather than a strictly defined or scientifically recognized diet.
