Who could have predicted that the silly drugstore pets from the 80's would end up as a major health trend in the next century? It turns out that chia seeds have far more benefits than being a joke for late night comedians and giggling teenagers.
Thanks to their omega-3 fatty acid, fiber, protein, antioxidant, and mineral content, these little seeds go along way in supporting the body's quest for optimal wellness.
Ground up chia seeds also happen to make a delightful pudding, thanks to their mucilaginous nature. It's an ideal snack or dessert for just about anyone, and it's especially beneficial for anyone who is watching their figure or blood sugar.
