Description

Chia seeds are tiny black or white seeds from the plant Salvia hispanica

Despite their tiny size, chia seeds are highly nutritious. They’re packed with fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and various micronutrients.

Chia seeds are also an excellent source of antioxidant.

Antioxidants not only protect the sensitive fats in chia seeds from going rancid but also benefit human health by neutralizing reactive molecules known as free radicals, which can damage cell compounds if they build up in your body.

The fiber and protein in chia seeds may benefit those trying to lose weight.
