Chia seeds are widely acclaimed as a powerhouse of essential nutrients. These seeds help protect the body against free radicals, which damages the cells and is primarily responsible for aging.
Chia seeds are high in polyunsaturated fats particularly the Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 is found to be helpful in pressure and joint pains and aids in reducing inflammation.
Chia seeds are small, flat, and oval-shaped with a shiny and smooth texture. Their color ranges from white to brown or black.
These seeds are highly versatile. They can be soaked and added to porridge, made into pudding, used in baked goods, or simply sprinkled on top of salads or yogurt.
