Seeds and nuts are delicious and healthy foods that many housewives add to baked goods and desserts. Dishes with them acquire a special flavor. On the days of fasting, when many foods are forbidden among those who are fasting, the question involuntarily arises whether it is possible to eat seeds and nuts.
Lent is the most difficult fast of the year, and it is difficult because it is the longest. Fasting people often fail to give up animal products for the entire period of fasting, but most often this happens because people do not know how to replace certain foods, as well as what foods are allowed to be eaten.
Lent lasts 48 days, and all this time you should not eat animal products, for example, meat, milk, yoghurts, cheeses, eggs, fish, and so on. Some people hesitate to fast just because they believe abstaining from protein foods can harm the body.
However, it is worth noting that even giving up meat, cottage cheese, fish, etc., it is quite possible to find protein in plant products and replace them with dishes, seeds and nuts - the best option. If you are wondering whether it is possible to eat seeds and nuts during fasting, then the answer is unequivocal - yes, you can and should eat them. The use of these products will have a beneficial effect on your well-being during the fast, you will more easily transfer the days of inhibitions on certain foods.
However, even while fasting, overeating is unnecessary: a handful of nuts and seeds per day is your limit. Adding sunflower seeds and walnuts to porridge on water will make the dish more tasty and nutritious, after such a breakfast you will feel great until lunchtime, while hunger will not make itself felt.
If you like sweets, then you can make yourself a delicious pasta during fasting: take a handful of seeds and nuts, heat them in a pan for about five minutes, then grind them in a blender with a little water and sugar.
