Seeds are
the potential
for new life,
originally
used in their
ground form as
seasonings or
herbal
flavourings
for foods.
They are high
protein foods,
with more
protein than
grains. Most
seeds are a
great source
minerals,
including
copper,
calcium E and
potassium.
Nuts are
one of
nature’s
richest foods.
They have good
quality
protein and
are even
higher in fats
than seeds.
Like the
seeds, nuts
are bundles of
potential, the
part of the
plant that
feeds the
future
generations.

The course
costs £35

some
subsidised
