Chia Seeds 250g

Chia seeds are oval shaped edible grey seeds with black and white spots measuring at about a 1-millimetre diameter. They originate from the Salvia hispanica plant which is a plant related to the mint family native to central America. Chia seeds are commonly known for their unique ability to absorb 10-12 times their weight in liquids such as water creating a thick gel-like consistency. The seeds are typically used in many recipes as a thickening agent including beverages and baked goods.  It is also suitable for vegans as it has been used as a substitute for eggs. In addition to their amazing properties, chia seeds contain a variety of nutrients and potential health benefits including aiding weight loss. However, despite it being a nutritious dietary addition for most, eating too may cause some side effects such as abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, bloating and gas.
