As more people step away from wheat and processed foods, they are looking towards other alternatives to satisfy cravings in healthier ways; these examples of seed innovations are just the ticket. Fresh, savory and everything in between, seeds are the essence of life in many ways. At their very core, they allow people to grow their own vegetable and herb gardens at home. Yet seeds are also incorporated in ready-made foods for an extra nutritional punch that is also tasty.
These examples of seed innovations include energy bars, biodegradable packaging and even a healthier 'candy machine.' Designers, brands and companies continue to experiment with seeds in ways that make them more prevalent and accessible to the general public. Creative and clever, these applications would entice anyone.
