Despite only being 2mm in length, our Chia Seeds pack quite the nutritional punch. They're a rich source of Omega-3s, calcium, B vitamins, iron and fibre along with other nutrients, such things many people don't get enough of.
When soaked, these tiny little seeds absorb up to 12x their weight in liquid, forming a gel texture that makes them perfect for adding to a variety of dishes including porridge and smoothies, or for making sweet puddings out of.
We love mixing them with pureed fruit and leaving in the fridge overnight to form a jelly-like pudding that can be use for lots of things from jam on your toast to a standalone pudding for babies!
Chia seeds also make an excellent replacement for eggs in vegan baking.
