Chia seeds have received a lot of attention in recent years for their ‘superfood’ status and popularity among health-conscious consumers. In fairness, chia sees are a great source of fibre, plant protein, Omega-3 fatty acids and other essential nutrients such as calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. The little suckers have also been linked to reducing the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
A fun fact about chia seeds is that they can absorb over 10 times their weight in water - which makes them perfect for healthy breakfast pudding or dessert recipes such as this.
