Description

Organic Chia Seeds.

The mighty chia seed! It’s amazing how many benefits there are to this true superfood: High in fibre, high in protein, high in calcium, antioxidants, and omega 3.

These little chia seeds are an incredibly easy and convenient way to add soluble and insoluble fibre to your diet. They are also great for vegetarians and vegans seeking a source of essential fatty acids.

Packed in paper bags in our refill shop in Staple Hill, Bristol. Cheaper per g than buying prepackaged in supermarkets. With the added benefit of not having to throw away single use plastic.

Ways to use Chia Seeds:

• They form a porridge-like consistency when added to water, which helps to make meals more filling with very few calories. If you are new to chia seeds and want to use in your porridge, start with just a teaspoon and move up to a tablespoon and see how you react due to the high fibre. You can replace some of the oats with the chia seeds as they will make you feel full quickly and longer. Make sure to drink plenty of water too.
• Add them to your smoothie to make it creamy.
• Sprinkle over cereals in the morning or your salad at lunch.
• Soak the seeds and bake them into bread.
• Can be used as a vegan egg substitute.

Allergens: Packed in an area that also handles nuts, peanuts, sesame seeds and gluten.
