About Dry chia seeds
Chia seeds are small, oval-shaped, edible seeds derived from the Salvia hispanica plant, native to Mexico and Central America. A staple in Aztec and Mayan diets, they are now cherished globally for their impressive nutritional profile. These seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein, calcium, magnesium, and antioxidants, making them a powerhouse of essential nutrients. Popular in vegetarian and vegan cuisines, chia seeds are often used in smoothies, puddings, baked goods, and as a topping for salads and yogurt. Their ability to absorb liquid and form a gel-like consistency makes them a versatile thickening agent. While chia seeds are generally considered healthful, their high fiber content may require moderation for individuals with digestive sensitivities. Additionally, staying hydrated is important when consuming these seeds, as they expand in liquid. A nutrient-dense addition to a balanced diet, chia seeds contribute to heart health, digestion, and sustained energy.
