Chia seeds

Chia seeds are tiny, nutrient-rich seeds derived from the Salvia hispanica plant, native to Central America. They are a good source of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and various minerals like calcium and magnesium. When soaked in liquid, they form a gel-like consistency, which can help with hydration and digestion. Due to their high nutrient density, chia seeds are often added to smoothies, yogurt, or baked goods to boost nutritional value. They are considered a healthy addition to a balanced diet, supporting heart health, digestion, and overall wellness.
