If you aren’t familiar with chia seeds, they are rapidly growing in popularity for their versatility and impressive nutritional profile. They’re an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is essential for heart health. Chia seeds are also rich in dietary fiber, promoting regular bowel movements and aiding in digestive health. Additionally, they are a good source of protein, essential minerals such as magnesium, zinc, and calcium, and antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress in the body.
Chia seeds can often be found in health food stores and some large supermarkets and grocery stores. As well as puddings, chia seeds can be used in smoothies, dressings, energy bars, and even as an egg substitute in baking.
