About One spoon of chia seed
Chia seeds, native to Central and South America, have ancient roots in Aztec and Mayan cuisines. Packed with nutrients, a single spoonful provides fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, making them a powerhouse for energy and overall health. These tiny seeds are known for their ability to absorb liquid, forming a gel-like texture, which aids digestion and keeps you feeling full longer. Their plant-based omega-3s promote heart health, while their antioxidant properties help combat free radicals in the body. Chia seeds are low in calories but dense in nutrition, making them a versatile addition to smoothies, yogurts, or baked goods. However, excessive consumption may cause digestive discomfort due to their high fiber content, so moderation is key. Whether sprinkled raw or soaked, one spoon of chia seeds is a simple way to elevate your diet with wholesome benefits.
