If you’re looking for an alternative to nuts, look no further than seeds. Unlike nuts, seeds aren’t common allergens, so they are better tolerated by people with food sensitivities. Flax and hemp seeds are rich in hard-to-get nutrients, such as omega-3 essential fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory benefits. Plus, these bars are gluten free!
