Chia seeds, dried

🥜 About this food

Small but mighty, Chia seeds pack a surprising amount of nutrition into every crunchy handful. They are a strong protein pick, helping you stay full and support muscle. The fiber content is a real plus here, helping you feel fuller for longer. They also happen to be a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, the type of fat most linked to heart and brain health. Because they are fairly energy-dense, portions are usually kept modest to easily fit the day. The kind of food plant-based menus lean on, they keep meals satisfying without a trace of fuss.
