Chia seeds are a popular food. They are a source of fibre and plant-based omega-3 fats, and they fit easily into many diets.

What they offer

  • Fibre: chia seeds are high in fibre, which supports digestion as part of a balanced diet.
  • Plant omega-3: they contain alpha-linolenic acid, a plant omega-3 fat.
  • Protein and minerals: they provide small amounts of protein and minerals.

How to eat them

Start with one teaspoon a day, soak them, and drink enough water. Our Imported Chia Seeds come in a 250 g pack.

Balance

Chia seeds are a useful addition, not a complete meal. Eat them as part of a varied diet with vegetables, pulses, fruit and whole grains.
