The Super Seeds were inspired by my habit of always adding seeds to my food, and one day I got tired of opening up different packets of seeds, so I thought, why don’t I just make up a combination of the healthiest seeds to use daily?

—CHIA — Stay hydrated and Don’t be fooled by their size! ?
These tiny seeds are one of the most nutritious foods on the planet! They’re loaded with fibre, protein, anti-oxidants, omega-3 fatty acids and various micronutrients.
Because of its high soluble fibre content, chia seeds can absorb up to 10–12 times their weight in water, becoming gel-like and expanding in your stomach.
This helps increase fullness, slow absorption of your food and helps you eat fewer calories.
Fibre also feeds the friendly bacteria in your intestine, which is important — keeping your gut flora well fed is absolutely crucial for health.
Chia seeds are 40% fibre by weight, making them one of the best sources of fiber in the world.
