Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are the tiny black seeds of the chia plant

Chia seeds contain large amounts of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, plenty of high quality protein, and several essential minerals and antioxidants.

They may improve digestive health, blood levels of heart-healthy omega-3s, and risk factors for heart disease and diabetes.

These seeds are highly versatile. They can be soaked and added to porridge, made into pudding, used in baked goods, or simply sprinkled on top of salads or yogurt.

Because of their ability to absorb liquid and form a gel, they can also be used to thicken sauces.
