Why Should We Love Chia Seeds?
Nutritionally, chia seeds are prized for having a high concentration of plant-based omega-3 fatty acid, specifically alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).
Increasing your intake of healthy dietary fats such as omega-3 fatty acids can help provide you with long-lasting energy to fuel your body, while also aiding in the absorption of important fat-soluble nutrients
Chia seeds contain a variety of other vitamins and minerals as well!
This chia seeds pudding recipe is perfect! The chia seed pudding ratio is 6 Tablespoons to 1 cup of Milk.
