Whole Chia Seeds are excellent source of fibre (32g per 100g), packed with antioxidants, full of protein, loaded with vitamins and minerals, and the richest known plant source of omega-3 fatty acids.
Chia seeds also have high levels of calcium, manganese and phosphorus. They provide an excellent non-animal source of protein and are thought to help regulate appetite, sleep and improve mood.
How to eat your Whole Chia Seeds
Simply sprinkle some over your morning cereal for a great boost to start the day! If you like to use ground chia seeds rather than their whole counterparts, you can always grind them yourself before using them in recipes. A good way is to fill a clean and empty hand-held pepper mill with whole chia seeds, and then twist the mill to grind the seeds – the same way you would grind pepper.
