🟢 Chia Seeds – Tiny Superfood, Mighty Benefits

High in protein, fibre, and omega-3 fatty acids, chia seeds are ideal for everything from smoothies to puddings to vegan egg replacements. Soaked overnight, they form a gel-like texture that’s gentle on digestion and great for weight management.
1. Are chia seeds good for skin? Yes, their antioxidant profile supports skin health.
2. Do chia seeds reduce belly fat? Their high fibre content helps with satiety and digestion.
3. Chia vs sabja seeds – Chia offers more omega-3s and protein, while sabja cools the body.

Use chia seeds in vegan baking, healthy breakfasts, or simply soaked in water for a hydrating, nutrient-rich drink.
