Chia seeds are a natural source of omega 3, fibre, protein, vitamin A, B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, potassium, calcium and iron. They are highly supportive of efficient digestion and overall gut health, helping to keel you satiated between meals. When chia seeds come in contact with water, they expand to at least six times their size and form a gel-like consistency. This can be used to replace the egg content in many baking recipes.
