Cedar nuts contain approximately 55% of valuable unsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid, as well as the rare pinoleic/pinolenic acid. They are rich in tocopherols (vitamin E) as antioxidants and high-quality proteins (approx. 17%). They also contain numerous minerals (including magnesium, potassium, phosphorus), trace elements (copper, manganese, zinc), vitamins (K and B), and flavonoids.

It can be unique or have many ramifications, with a diameter ranging from one to eight centimeters and a height of 0.5 to 3 m, depending on the varieties and growing conditions such as seeding density or fertilization9. Its color is also very variable: uniformly green, green with purple or red streaks, or uniformly red.

Chia is a sage. It is an annual plant that can reach 1 m in height, and its scientific name is Salvia hispanica.
The composition of the chia seed closely resembles that of other mucilaginous seeds like flaxseed and psyllium. Unlike flaxseed, chia does not have anti-nutritional factors, which limit the use of flaxseed without prior heat treatment. The anti-nutritional factors are cyanogenic glycosides or linatins, inhibitors of vitamin B6 that prevent its action. Chia also has a much more pleasant taste than flaxseed, and birds are more willing to consume it.

Hemp seeds are highly nutritious and contain more essential fatty acids (EFAs) than any other source and are in second place, after soya, for their richness in highly digestible proteins, of high biological value. They are particularly recommended during the breeding seasons in order to stimulate the reproductive instinct of birds.
The flaxseed consists of 40 to 45% oil and 25% protein. Flaxseed preserves very well. It contains, in particular, two fatty acids with similar names (both derived from the word "lin"), linolenic acid (an omega-3) and linoleic acid.
The seed is used in animal feed, particularly for laying hens for which an increase in the omega-3 content of the eggs is desired.
