About Chia jam

Chia jam is a nutritious spread made primarily from ripe fruit, chia seeds, and a touch of natural sweetener, such as honey or maple syrup. Originating as part of clean-eating trends, it’s widely embraced in modern health-focused cooking for its simplicity and versatility, fitting well into plant-based and whole-food diets. The chia seeds act as natural thickeners while also providing a nutrient boost, rich in fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and protein. Unlike traditional jams, which often rely on added sugars or pectin, chia jam uses the seeds’ gel-like consistency to create a thick texture. It’s a healthier alternative to conventional jams with significantly reduced sugar content. However, calorie-conscious eaters should still monitor portion sizes depending on the amount of sweetener and fruit used. Chia jam is a quick and fresh way to enhance toast, yogurt, or oatmeal while supporting a balanced diet.
