About One tp spoon of chia seeds

Chia seeds, originating from Central and South America, have been a staple in Aztec and Mayan diets for centuries. One teaspoon of chia seeds is a nutritional powerhouse, packed with essential nutrients. These tiny seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and important minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Chia seeds are known for their ability to promote digestive health, support heart health, and provide sustained energy due to their complex carbohydrates. They’re also rich in antioxidants, which help combat oxidative stress in the body. While they’re versatile and commonly used in smoothies, yogurt, oatmeal, and baked goods, their high fiber content may cause minor digestive discomfort if consumed in excessive amounts. In moderation, one teaspoon of chia seeds is a convenient way to enhance the nutritional value of various meals while benefiting overall well-being.
