Chia seeds are one of the world’s oldest sources of nutrition, documented to have been eaten by the ancient Aztecs and Mayans as early as 3500 BC. Derived from the desert plant Salvia hispanica, chia seeds offer the highest combined plant source of omega-3, fibre and protein, alongside a range of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

HOW TO EAT CHIA
It’s easy to include chia in your diet.  Chia is one of very few grain-like seeds that can be eaten completely in its natural state – no grinding, no cooking and no processing.Sprinkle onto your muesli or cereals, into your salads or smoothies, or soak in liquid to form a chia pudding. Chia can even be used as an egg replacement; when allowed to ‘gel’ in a little water chia becomes sticky and binding, perfect for vegan baking.
