How do I use chia, flax, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds daily?

  • Chia: soak 20–30 minutes and add to water, smoothies, curd, or overnight oats (about 1–2 tbsp/day).
  • Flax: grind fresh and sprinkle over salads, dal, rotis, or smoothies (1–2 tbsp/day for better omega-3 absorption).
  • Pumpkin & Sunflower: eat roasted as a snack or toss into poha, upma, salads, trail mix, or baking (a small handful/day).
  • Tip: Start small and increase gradually; this is general wellness info—not medical advice.

What is the shelf life and how should I store the seeds?

  • Shelf life: typically 9–12 months from packing (check your pack for exact MFD/EXP).
  • Storage: keep sealed in an airtight container, away from heat/sunlight.
  • After opening, refrigeration helps retain crunch and slows natural oils from turning rancid—especially for flax and chia.
