Chia Seed
- Chia seeds can be added to smoothies, yogurt, oatmeal, baked goods, or used to make chia pudding.
- They can also be eaten raw or sprouted and added to salads or sandwiches.
💪 Chia seeds are known for their high nutrient content, including fibre, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and various minerals and antioxidants.
💧 Chia seeds are also hydrophilic, meaning they absorb liquid and develop a gel-like consistency when soaked.
⚖️ This unique property allows them to absorb up to 12 times their weight in liquid, making them useful for thickening dishes or creating pudding-like textures.
