VitalitySeed Crunchies are an organic activated seed granola designed to work on any meal whether it’s savoury or sweet. In this episode I talk with Tytania, the founder, about what activated seeds actually are, why activation matters even for seeds & why toasting seeds is doing more harm than good.
Tytania is a registered nutritional therapist, private chef & has a master’s degree in food politics. She spent over 13 years cooking for private clients including professional athletes & royals, before developing the VitalitySeed Crunchies range. What she doesn’t know about seeds, nutrition & food politics probably isn’t worth knowing.
We also get into the real cost of cheap food, why there’s no such thing as a superfood, what Ayurveda says about eating for your body type & why the ultra-processed food industry is more political than you realise.
