Chia seeds and their enormous health benefits are the buzz words these days in the food world. Although the world is waking up to the benefits of these seeds in recent times these seeds are loaded with fiber, protein, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants, certainly good for people who derive all their nutrition from food and stay away from supplements. Add to this, they are naturally gluten-free and are not genetically modified. Grown without the use of any chemicals, these miraculous seeds have proven to be good for the heart, bone health, and also for diabetes.
While we have experimented a lot with Chia seeds we have come to the conclusion that it can be eaten raw, used in puddings, porridges, and juices and also incorporated into baked goodies. Check out some of the amazing chia seed recipes that you can make.
