I first became hooked on these little seeds last year when I was trying to clear up my skin. The reason? They're jammed full of
zinc which is vital in helping your skin produce new cells and
magnesium which has a unique role in detoxing the dermis of your skin, both minerals also support the strong immune system you'll need to fight off a skin infection or bad breakout. They're an ideal source of
omega 3 which replenishes the healthy oil that acne removes from your skin and lastly they have an
anti-inflammatory effect, another key area to focus on when trying to clear your skin.
They are at their nutritional best when eaten raw, but sadly not at their culinary best. To amp up the flavour heat a pan and quick fry your seeds for a few seconds without oil. Once they're toasted like this they become irresistible. I tend not to season them but add a grind of salt, a splash of Worchester Sauce or a pinch of ground ginger and cinnamon if you get bored.
If for some inexplicable reason you don't eat then immediately, they will happily sit for a few weeks in a sealed container. They provide the perfect Emergency Feed!
