Description
Chia Seeds are edible and known for their highly nutritious values. These are rich in edible fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, calcium, minerals, and other vital nutrients. They absorb water to form a gel, which aids digestion, promotes fullness, and stabilizes blood sugar, making them a versatile ingredient in foods like smoothies, yogurt, and chia pudding. These are also used for weight management. Naturally, these are cholesterol-free and trans fat-free. When mixed with liquid, chia seeds absorb up to 12 times their weight and develop a unique gel-like coating, making them useful for thickening recipes.
