Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are small, nutrient-dense seeds derived from the Salvia hispanica plant. Chia seeds are a nutritional powerhouse, containing omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, protein, antioxidants, vitamins (especially B vitamins), and minerals (including calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium). Chia seeds can absorb many times their weight in water, forming a gel-like consistency. This unique property helps keep you hydrated and promotes a feeling of fullness. Chia seeds are one of the richest plant-based sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid. These fatty acids are essential for heart health and cognitive function.
