Level up your pantry with nutritious and delicious chia seeds
They may be tiny but don’t let their size fool you – chia seeds pack a punch when it comes to nutrition. From breakfast to smoothies, salads and baked goods, they’re versatile, nutrient-rich and easy to use in a range of different recipes.
Whether you’re looking to introduce more plant-based ingredients into your diet or take advantage of the nutrients in chia seeds, Healthylife is the right place to start. You’ll find a range of black and white chia seed options, including organic varieties.
What are chia seeds?
Chia seeds are the black, white and grey edible seeds of the Salvia hispanica plant, which is part of the mint family. They’ve been valued for centuries thanks to their neutral flavour and gel-like texture when mixed with water, which makes them a versatile addition to different recipes.
Chia seeds boast an impressive nutrient profile packed with fibre, protein, omega-3 fatty acids and essential minerals like calcium and magnesium.
What are the health benefits of chia seeds?
Chia seeds have a high omega-3 fatty acid content, specifically alpha-linolenic acid, which may support heart health. The dietary fibre in chia seeds may also help to maintain blood sugar stability. That same dietary fibre also means that chia seeds may give a feeling of satiety or fullness.
What is the best way to eat chia seeds?
The crunchy texture of chia seeds makes them ideal to sprinkle over salads and cereals or added to baked foods.
You can also make a chia seed pudding by soaking the seeds in water for at least 15 minutes. You can add fruit to this or mix it into smoothies or yoghurt.
Chia seeds can also be used as a vegan egg substitute in baking. Mix one tablespoon of chia seeds with three tablespoons of water and let it sit until it thickens.
What is the recommended serving amount for chia seeds?
You’ll find the serving size on every pack of chia seeds. If you need advice on how much chia seed you should be eating for your specific circumstances, speak with your healthcare professional.
