🔬 Nutritional Value (Per 28g or ~2 tablespoons):
Fiber: ~11g (excellent for digestion)
Protein: ~4g
Omega-3 fatty acids: ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) – heart-healthy fat
Minerals: Calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc
Antioxidants: Help fight free radicals and reduce inflammation
✅ Health Benefits:
1. Supports digestion – High in fiber, especially soluble fiber that promotes bowel regularity.
2. Heart health – Omega-3s help lower cholesterol and blood pressure.
3. Weight management – The fiber and protein make you feel full longer.
4. Blood sugar regulation – May help slow the absorption of sugar.
5. Bone health – Rich in calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus.
🍽️ How to Use Chia Seeds:
Soaked in water or milk to form a gel (great for puddings).
Added to smoothies, yogurt, or oatmeal.
Used in baking (like in bread or muffins).
Egg replacement in vegan recipes (1 tbsp chia + 2.5 tbsp water = 1 egg).
⚠️ Possible Side Effects:
Can cause bloating or gas if you eat too much at once.
Should be soaked before eating in large quantities to avoid choking (they swell when wet).
People on blood thinners should talk to a doctor before heavy use (due to omega-3 content).
