Almonds
Almond is a highly nutritional nut and a rich source of vitamin E, manganese and magnesium. Almonds are a source of copper, phosphorus, niacin, fibers and antioxidants. Compared to all other nuts, they are richer in nutrients and beneficial components healthful mono- and polyunsaturated fats and antioxidants. Almonds contain natural occurring sugars.

Dates
Dates are a good source of iron, fiber, vitamin A and potassium. Essential minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, and zinc can be found making them one of the healthiest foods in the world. Dates have high levels of soluble fiber, which is essential in promoting healthy bowel movements and comfortable passage of food through the intestinal tract. Dates have natural occurring sugars like glucose, fructose, and sucrose. Therefore, they are the perfect snack for an immediate burst of energy.

Pumpkin seeds
Pumpkin seeds contain a wide variety of antioxidant phytonutrients, including some phenolic acids and polyphenols like the lignans. Pumpkin seeds also contain health-supportive phytosterols. Pumpkin seeds are a very good source of zinc, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese and copper and the World Health Organization recommends their consumption as a good way of obtaining these nutrients. In addition, pumpkin seeds are a great source of dietary fiber, protein and the essential fatty acids Omega-3 and Omega-6.

Sesame seeds
Sesame seeds have health benefits due to their nutritional content, including vitamins, minerals, natural oils, and organic compounds which consist of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, copper, zinc, fiber, thiamin, vitamin B6, folate, protein, and tryptophan. Dried whole sesame seeds are composed of 23% carbohydrates, including 12% dietary fiber, 50% fat, and 18% protein.

Quinoa
Quinoa is high in protein and one of the few plant foods that contain all nine essential amino acids, and for this reason, it is an excellent source of protein. It has both more and better protein than most grains. It is also high in fiber, magnesium, B-vitamins, iron, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin E and flavonoids which are plant antioxidants.

Chia seeds
Chia seeds are nutrient-dense and pack a punch of energy-boosting power and have become one of the most popular superfoods in the health community. The reason chia seeds are so beneficial is due to them being rich in fiber, Omega-3 fats, protein, vitamins A, B, E and D and minerals including Sulphur, iron, iodine, magnesium, manganese, niacin and thiamine; and they’re a rich source of antioxidants.

Inulin
Inulin is a soluble dietary fiber found in many plants but most often extracted from chicory. The naturally occurring polysaccharide/fructan is however not processed and thus inulin has minimal impact on blood sugar rise. It increases calcium absorption and possibly magnesium absorption, while promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria in the colon.
