What are dry fruit seeds, and how can they be used in cooking and health? - #10390

I’ve recently heard about dry fruit seeds as a nutritious addition to diets and want to know more about their benefits and uses. Which seeds are most commonly consumed, and how do they contribute to health? Some of the seeds I’ve read about include almond kernels, walnut seeds, and seeds from dried figs or dates. How nutritious are these seeds, and do they offer benefits like healthy fats, protein, and fiber? Another aspect I’m curious about is their role in cooking. Can dry fruit seeds be used in baking, salads, or as toppings for yogurt and smoothies? Are there any specific recipes where they work best? I’m also interested in their health benefits. Do they support weight management, improve digestion, or boost energy levels? Are there particular seeds that are better suited for certain goals, like improving heart health or reducing inflammation? Lastly, are there any precautions to keep in mind? Could consuming too many dry fruit seeds lead to digestive discomfort or allergies? If anyone has included dry fruit seeds in their diet, I’d love to know how you use them and the benefits you’ve noticed.
