Chia seeds originate from South America and have been used as a food for thousands of years by the Mayans and Aztecs. Recently chia seeds have been labelled a complete superfood as they are the richest plant source of Omega 3 essential fatty acids, dietary fibre and protein. These nutrient dense seeds also contain a wide range of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amio acids and other fatty acids.

SUGGESTED USE: Mix 1 tablespoon into foods such as cereals, porridge, yoghurt, smoothies, sauces and salad dressings. Alternatively they can be added to water or juice, when added to liquids the chia seeds will swell and form a gel like substance.

Ensure you drink plenty of water throughout the day
