Chia seeds are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, antioxidants, and protein. They can be eaten raw, soaked in liquid to form a gel, or ground and added to recipes. They are often used in baking, as a thickener for sauces and puddings, and as an egg replacement in vegan cooking. They can also be added to smoothies, yogurt, and oatmeal. Due to their high fiber content, it is recommended to drink plenty of water when consuming chia seeds.
