Chia seeds

Chia seeds are native to Mexico and Guatemala. Chia seeds contain 19% protein, similar to other nuts, but more than most cereals and grain-based dishes. High protein consumption is associated with increased satiety after a meal and decreased food consumption. It is a source of high-quality protein with all the essential amino acids and is, therefore, a good source of plant-based protein. They're also gluten-free, so those with gluten intolerance can enjoy them.

These little chia seeds are packed with iron, calcium, selenium, and magnesium, as well as omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and many other useful plant compounds. In addition, this seed has a mild taste and can absorb water and sea into a gel form. This makes it easy for anyone to add chia seeds to a wide variety of recipes, like blending them in smoothies or baking or simply sprinkling them on top of salads or yogurt… Due to their ability to absorb liquids and create a gel, they can also be used to thicken sauces for dishes.
