Chia Seeds have a very mild flavor (no "fishy" taste like other foods high in Omega-3 acids) and hold 12xs the water. They are crunchy and have a nutty flavor and are fun to eat.
Chia Seeds are rich in Antioxidants, Full of important nutrients and have the highest known whole-food source of Omega-3 acids. Also they are a very good source of fiber and manganese, are low in sodium and cholesterol-free. I love the seeds and they are fun, convenient & versatile.
After so many positive effects, I became interested in learning more how this food can benefit us all.

How are Chia Seeds used ?
Chia Seeds are different than Flax seeds as they can either be ground or can even be swallowed whole, or soaked in any liquid like water or fruit juice. The Seeds won't alter the taste of foods when it's used as an ingredient. It can be sprinkled on all of your foods or be eaten as a snack.
Soaking seeds makes them gelatinous and can be used in porridge's and puddings.
- add them to smoothies, milkshakes or protein shakes
- sprinkle them on cereal, oatmeal, salad or soup
- add them to any muffin, cookie, or cake recipe
- add them to pancake batter before you cook the cakes
- put them on peanut butter & jelly sandwiches
Again, those are just a few because you can literally add them to just about any food because their flavor is very mild and will not interfere with the flavor of the food you add them to.
