Breakfast superstar, fabulous vegan baking tool… the list of chia’s nutritional benefits is long, and its reputation that precedes it.
It’s a naturally gluten-free food, a great plant source of omega-3 fatty acids, a source of protein, fibre, antioxidants and minerals. It’s easy to integrate chia to your diet and take advantage of the wholesome benefits it provides.
Did you know?
One serving (2 tbsp) of chia meets 230% to 350% of your daily plant-based omega-3 (ALA). Since the body isn’t capable of building this type of fatty acid, which is essential for brain function, it’s important to get a good quantity of it in your diet. Chia seeds are a good source of healthy fats and a quarter of this is ALA fatty acids.
