What are chia seeds and where are they sourced from?
Chia seeds are small, nutrient-dense seeds that come from the Salvia hispanica plant, which is part of the mint family. Our chia seeds are sourced from Peru, where they have been cultivated for centuries and are considered a traditional superfood.
What are the nutritional benefits of chia seeds?
Chia seeds are packed with nutrients and are a great addition to any diet. They are a good source of fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and various vitamins and minerals. They also have antioxidant properties and can help lower inflammation in the body.
How can I use chia seeds in my diet?
Chia seeds can be used in a variety of ways in your diet. They can be added to smoothies, oatmeal, yoghurt, or used as a topping for salads or roasted vegetables. Chia seeds can also be used to make a vegan egg substitute by combining them with water. When soaked in liquid, chia seeds become gelatinous, making them a great addition to puddings or as a thickener for sauces or jams.
