Kale is one of the most nutrient dense foods. It’s a great source of Vitamin A, Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Manganese, Calcium, Copper, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Iron, and Phosphorus.
While sesame seeds can prevent diabetes, build strong bones, lower blood pressure, improve digestion, reduce inflammation, and many more.
And of course how can we forget about chia seeds? These tiny seeds are chock full of nutrients. They have tons of fiber, protein, omega-3s, Manganese, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Zinc, Niacin, Potassium, Thiamine, and Vitamin B2.
