IW CHIA SEEDS 600G

Islands West 600 gram Chia seeds have a mild, nutty flavor that works well to complement both sweet and savory dishes. They’re very subtle in their taste, though some find the taste to be similar to a poppy seed or an alfalfa sprout. In raw form, the texture of the chia seed is crunchy and dense (much like a poppy seed as well). Chia seeds are one of the best known sources of essential fatty acids, with nearly two-thirds being comprised of Omega-3 as ALA.  They are also an excellent source of Omega-6, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, dietary fiber, and protein.

• Chia seeds can be mixed into baked goods like bread, muffins, breakfast bars, and more.
• You can use chia eggs as a substitute for regular eggs if you want to make a recipe vegan or plant based.
• Dry chia seeds can also be added whole or ground to smoothies and juices, mixed into oatmeal and over night oats.
• If you’re adding the seeds to a drink or a “wet” dish like porridge, they’ll swell up slightly while you eat but retain a slight crunch.
