Nuts and seeds are nutrient-dense plant foods that come from different parts of plants:
Nuts are hard-shelled, edible seeds or fruits that typically come from trees (e.g., almonds, walnuts, and cashews). They are rich in healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Some, like peanuts, are technically legumes but are classified as nuts in culinary contexts.
Seeds are small, edible plant structures that contain all the nutrients necessary for a new plant to grow (e.g., chia seeds, flaxseeds, and sunflower seeds). They are also high in healthy fats, protein, and fiber, with some offering unique benefits like omega-3 fatty acids (e.g., flaxseeds).
Both are commonly eaten as snacks, added to dishes, or used for oils and butters. 11 replies
