Many Good reasons but, let talk about Iron in Zen Basil Seeds.

Iron🔥

Iron: “Iron is a mineral that serves several important functions, with its main one being to carry oxygen throughout your body as a part of your red blood cells.” You can think of it as your body’s WiFi... “It’s an essential nutrient, meaning you must get it from food. The Daily Value (DV) is 18 mg.” According to Healthline.com

Just one serving of Zen Basil seeds will give you 12.4mg.

Especially to our vegan friends who don’t get their daily iron and calcium needs from meat and dairy.

According to healthline.com:

“Iron deficiency can cause anemia and lead to symptoms like fatigue. Menstruating women who don't consume iron-rich foods are at a particularly high risk of deficiency.” Adding Zen Basil seeds help you fill important iron shortfalls in your daily diet.

Lectin-Free, means you may enjoy them dry. Note, that products that may have lectin, as in case of chia, must be well cooked and even then we’re not sure if they are not inflammatory in your body…see Dr. Steven Gundry about the full studies done lectin and chia …
