17.01.2022 'Hemp seeds' - What are they? And are they worth the hype? They come from the hemp plant, whose parts have been used for many years for a variety of purposes - paper, clothing, oils and fuel. Hemp seeds have been found to be a great plant-based source of protein, good polyunsaturated fats, fibre and other nutrients, such as vitamin E and B-group vitamins. Their pleasant nutty flavour makes it an easy, nutritious additive to both sweet and savoury foods. Simply try sprinkling... it on yoghurt and salads or adding it to smoothies!

03.01.2022 Veganism is increasingly popular, as we become more aware of sustainability and animal welfare. As animal products are a valuable source of nutrients such as vitamin B12, iron and zinc, it's important to think about how to maintain an optimal diet for your health. Our tops tips?... 1 Iron is important nutrient which helps carrying oxygen around the body. Insufficient iron intake can result in anaemia. Iron in plant foods can be harder to absorb, so it's important to choose iron-rich sources such as: - Tofu - Beans (canned, cooked, dried) - Iron-fortified breakfast cereal - Spinach, silver beet - oat, and wholegrain bread - dried apricot You can even boost absorption by accompanying with vitamin C-rich food (citrus, tomato, capsicum) and avoid having them with coffee and tea. 2 Zinc is important for our immune system, healthy cell growth and wound healing. Get your zinc by enjoying the following: - beans and lentils - nuts and seeds - wholegrain products - tofu - Zinc-fortified breakfast cereal. 3 Vitamin B12 is crucial for helping us make blood cells. It can be one of the most limiting nutrients in a vegan diet, and symptoms can develop as late as 5 years after deficiency. You can still find small amount of B12 in: - Soy milk with added vitamin B12 - Breakfast cereal with added B12 - Some mushrooms - Tempeh, miso and soy sauce If you're vegan, or are thinking about trying a vegan diet, see your doctor and an Accredited Practising Dietitan to ensure you are getting all the nutrients your body needs #WorldVeganMonth
