Chia Seeds

Chia seeds may be small, but they’re among the most nutritious foods in the world. Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, they help stabilise blood sugar, support digestion, and promote a lasting feeling of fullness—making them a great aid for weight management.

These oval, glossy seeds come from the Salvia hispanica plant, a relative of mint native to South and Central America. Traditionally valued by the Aztecs and Mayas—'chia' means 'strength' in the Mayan language—they have been a dietary staple for centuries. [[A272]][[A269]]
