Chia Seeds

Chia Seeds are an ancient South American superfood. Their very subtle taste allows you to add them to absolutely anything that you eat or drink — helping to boost your nutritional, antioxidant and Omega-3 intake.

Check out the nutritional benefits:

• Rich in Omega-3 (higher levels than salmon)
• High in Protein (more than any other ancient grain)
• High in Iron (3 times more than spinach)
• A powerful source of antioxidants (30% more potency than blueberries)
• High in Fibre (2 tbsp equivalent to 5 pieces of wholewheat bread)

How to use:

• Drink: Add a teaspoon of Chia Seeds to a glass of water or juice, before drinking.
• Sprinkle: Sprinkle Chia Seeds on salads, cereals, yogurt, even soup. Or add a sprinkling in your baking — great in bread, cakes, cookies and biscuits.
• Soak: A common way to consume Chia Seeds is to soak them. Make basic Chia ‘gel’ by adding 60g (1/3 cup) of seeds to 480g (2 cups) of water, milk or non-dairy milk. Stir, leave for around 10 minutes or until it takes a gel-like consistency.
