Chia is a gluten-free seed with more Omega-3s than any other seed. Chia easily dethrones flax seeds in nutritional value due to its unique richness in calcium, protein, and fiber. Whole chia seeds are very versatile, making them easy to incorporate in your daily diet. Add chia to smoothies, juices, and other beverages, or throw them in your soups, salads and sauces. Sprinkle chia on your oatmeal, yogurt and cereal, or use chia in your cake recipes as a substitute for eggs or as a thickener.
