What are the different types of Patanjali seeds, and how can they benefit health?

Question

I recently came across Patanjali seeds, which are marketed as healthy snacks and cooking ingredients. I want to understand the variety of seeds they offer and how they contribute to overall wellness.

Some of the seeds I’ve read about include flaxseeds, chia seeds, and sunflower seeds. How do these differ in terms of their nutrient profiles, and what specific health benefits do they provide?

I’m also curious about how to use these seeds effectively. Should they be consumed raw, roasted, or soaked? Are there specific recipes or meal plans that incorporate Patanjali seeds for maximum health benefits?

Another question I have is about their role in weight management and energy. Do these seeds work as appetite suppressants or provide a good source of sustained energy throughout the day?

If anyone has used Patanjali seeds, I’d love to hear your recommendations. Which types of seeds did you find most beneficial, and how do you include them in your daily diet?

Patanjali offers a variety of seeds, including flaxseeds, chia seeds, and sunflower seeds, each with unique nutritional profiles:

Flaxseeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants. They help improve digestion, support heart health, and have anti-inflammatory benefits.
Chia seeds are rich in fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids, supporting weight management, digestive health, and stable energy levels.
Sunflower seeds are a good source of healthy fats, protein, and vitamin E, promoting skin health and providing sustained energy.
How to use:

Raw seeds can be sprinkled on salads, smoothies, or yogurt.
Roasting enhances flavor, but avoid overheating to preserve nutrients.
Soaking chia and flaxseeds makes them easier to digest and improves nutrient absorption.
These seeds can aid in weight management by helping control appetite due to their fiber content, while also providing sustained energy throughout the day.

If you've used Patanjali seeds, many people recommend adding them to smoothies, overnight oats, or baked goods for an easy daily dose of nutrition.
