Chia seeds are definitely a close cousin to flax seeds😅

Despite being tiny, chia seeds are one of the most nutrient-filled seeds that ever exist. They are rich in fibre,protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc and omega-3 fats.

They have a flat taste hence making it much easier to take. Chia pudding has become a common household name because that's one of the most used ways in which people take chia. It can also be incorporated with water, yoghurt, oatmeal, granola, smoothies, baked goodies, juice, salads etc.

Let's take a closer look at its health benefits:

1.) Being rich in fibre, they help in reducing constipation and promoting digestive health

2.) Omega-3 fats in it help to support heart health and brain development

3.) It lowers the bad cholesterol in the blood hence reducing the risk of pressure

4.) They are rich in Calcium and Magnesium which are good for bone and teeth health

5.) They help to reduce blood sugar levels

6.) It contains protein that helps in cell growth and regeneration.

💡Once mixed with water,chia seeds turn into a gel. This enables it to be used as an egg substitute and binding agent.

The best way to consume it is when raw. We can always try it out.
