Chia seeds are tiny, nutrient-dense seeds originating from Central and South America, where they were a staple for ancient civilizations like the Aztecs. These versatile seeds are packed with dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and iron. A popular superfood, chia seeds are often used in smoothies, baked goods, puddings, and as a topping for salads or yogurt. They are notable for their ability to absorb liquid, forming a gel-like texture, which aids digestion and helps you feel fuller for longer. Chia seeds are gluten-free, low in calories, and rich in antioxidants, making them an excellent choice for a balanced diet. However, consuming them in excessive amounts without adequate hydration can lead to digestive discomfort. When eaten in moderation, chia seeds are a powerhouse of nutrition and a great addition to many dishes.
