This is a delicious high vitamin and mineral-packed bread with its mix of flavours. Sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds are rich in Omega-6 fatty acids, and high fibre.
Pumpkin seeds include good levels of B vitamins, iron, magnesium and protein, while sesame seeds are a rich source of zinc, selenium, copper, iron, vitamin B6, and vitamin E. They are also recommended for menopausal symptoms.
Avocados are a great source of Omega-3 fats and carry vitamins C, E, K, and B-6, as well
as riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium.
Blackstrap molasses will add a distinct flavour to your bread. It has good levels of iron, selenium
and copper. Use blackstrap molasses in small amounts as in this recipe because it is very sweet.
This bread is a delightful accompaniment to any meal.
