Dried Chia seeds may be tiny, but they pack a powerful nutritional punch! Loaded with fiber, protein, healthy fats, and antioxidants, chia seeds help you power through your day by providing lasting energy. Chia seeds are also an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, providing more of these heart-healthy fats than salmon.
With a mild, nutty flavor, chia seeds can be easily incorporated into your diet in both sweet and savory dishes. Simply soak them in water or your favorite milk to create a pudding-like texture, or sprinkle them into yogurt, cereals, baked goods, jams, and more. Chia seeds absorb up to 12 times their weight in liquid, making them a fantastic egg replacer in vegan recipes.
Size: 200g, 500g, 1kg.
