Sunflower seed contains almost 40% fat, but also proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins B and E. We quantify on a sunflower seed nearly 600 Kcalories per 100 g.
It satisfies throughout the year, the needs of a wide variety of birds, including the smallest of them.
Sunflower seeds are a real treat for our birds who love them!
They have the property of binding to minerals such as calcium, iron and zinc and making them less bioavailable.
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.
The canary seed is a grass, an annual plant up to 1m tall, the seeds being found in the inflorescences. These seeds represent a significant fraction of the majority of bird mixtures.
• Excellent for canaries, European and exotic birds, wavy parakeets and large parakeets.
• EXTRA canary seed has undergone extra cleaning and is of exceptional quality. Unique on the market!
Soybeans are an excellent source of iron, zinc, manganese, copper, selenium, potassium, vitamins, fiber, polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants, in short, it is an excellent dietary supplement.
Soybeans are often used in sprouting seed mixes.
Carrot seeds are very rich in vitamins with a high proportion of vitamin A and carotene, as well as vitamin B, calcium and valuable carbohydrates.
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.
Spinach seeds contain vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B7, B9 and C, mineral salts and trace elements. Regular consumption helps to strengthen the feathers.
Chenopodium quinoa is an annual plant, one to two meters tall or more. The central stem is cylindrical at the collar and becomes more angular higher. 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.
