BENEFITS OF CHIA SEEDS

 

 

CHIA SEEDS CONTAIN HEART-HEALTHY OMEGA-3S

The picture below is not a brand endorsement as the purpose of this blog is not to endorse brands or sell you products. I chose this picture because it shows the high omega-3 count on the front of the package where you can see it easily. The fact is chia seeds are a good source of the heart-healthy omega-3s and should be included in your diet!

FLAX OR CHIA SEEDS MAY BE USED AS AN EGG SUBSTITUTE IN RECIPES

To all of you who don't like to eat eggs or want to make a recipe vegan-friendly, you can substitute eggs with flax or chia seeds. To make an egg substitute, in a small coffee grinder or spice grinder whir flax or chia seeds until you have flax or chia seed meal. Then, for each egg you're replacing in a recipe, combine 1 tablespoon ground flax seed meal or 1 tablespoon ground chia seed meal and 3-4 tablespoons of warm water. By thickening and leavening, this easily substitutes eggs.
