Just like hemp hearts, I put these in everything. Easy fiber, easy omega's, and pretty tasteless!
Chia seeds are a small, black, and white seed that comes from the plant Salvia hispanica. They have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their many health benefits.
If you haven't tried them.. hopefully you are convinced after you read this...
High in Nutrients: Chia seeds are a great source of fiber, protein, healthy fats, and various micronutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus.
