Fibre isn’t about complicated diets or restrictive eating.It’s about how you build everyday meals.A slice of gluten-free bread made with whole ingredients.A spoon of chia or flax seeds stirred into breakfast.A layer of almond butter added to something you already eat.These small additions can meaningfully increase the fibre content of your day without changing your routine.When you combine simple foods like oats, fruit, seeds and nut or seed butters, it becomes much easier to move closer to the recommended 30g of fibre per day.Which meal would you try first?#FibreMaxing #GutHealth #HealthyBreakfast #ChiaSeeds #FlaxSeeds #AlmondButter #SesameTahini #SproutedOats #sunandseed by @sun.and.seed

When it comes to increasing fibre, consistency matters more than perfection.That's why we love ingredients that are easy to use every day.From fibre-rich chia and flax seeds to nutrient-dense tahinis and almond butter, these are some of the foods we reach for most often when adding extra plant goodness to meals.Each brings something different to the table:🌾 Dark sesame tahini – fibre and minerals from whole sesame seeds🌱 Chia seeds – fibre champions🌱 Flax seeds – fibre plus omega-3⚫ Black sesame tahini – fibre, calcium and antioxidants🥜 Almond butter – fibre, protein and vitamin EThe best approach isn't choosing one superfood. It's enjoying a variety of whole foods as part of a balanced diet.Which one is your favourite?#FibreRich #WholeFoods #OrganicFood #ChiaSeeds #FlaxSeeds #BlackSesame #Tahini #AlmondButter #PlantBasedNutrition #SunAndSeed by @sun.and.seed

For years, protein has been the nutrient dominating headlines. But increasingly, nutrition experts are turning their attention to something many of us still don't get enough of: fibre.Fibre does much more than support digestion. It helps nourish the beneficial bacteria in our gut, contributes to feeling satisfied after meals and plays an important role in a balanced diet.The good news is that some of the best sources are simple, everyday foods.Chia seeds contain around 34% fibre, while flax seeds provide around 27%, making them some of the richest natural sources available. Almonds bring their own combination of fibre, plant protein, healthy fats, vitamin E and minerals.Rather than focusing on a single nutrient, we're big believers in adding a variety of whole plant foods to your diet. Small changes, repeated consistently, can make a meaningful difference over time.In our next post, we'll take a closer look at some of our favourite fibre-rich ingredients and what makes each one unique.#Fibre #GutHealth #HealthyEating #PlantBasedNutrition #OrganicFood #ChiaSeeds #FlaxSeeds #Almonds #WholeFoods #SunAndSeed by @sun.and.seed

Milled chia seeds are a simple way to bring more plant power into everyday food. Once ground, the nutrients become easier to access and the texture blends smoothly into both sweet and savoury dishes.Naturally rich in fibre and plant-based omega-3s, they help support a balanced diet without changing the flavour of your recipes. Just a spoonful can quietly upgrade your breakfast, baking or drinks.From porridge to sauces, milled chia fits in where you least expect it — no fuss, just easy nutrition. by @sun.and.seed
