Seeds are a great addition to your diet to help boost and regulate your metabolism. You can find seeds and nuts in bulk in smaller grocery stores, especially those that focus more on fruits and vegetables. Buying in bulk is typically less expensive than buying those already packaged and it has the added benefit of letting you experiment without purchasing a large package that will go bad on your shelf if you decide seeds aren’t you’re thing.
