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.

*Cost:* The course costs £35 (there are some subsidised places).
