Chia seeds are such a nutrient-dense food!
They are a great source of soluble fiber which you can actually see by just how much they gel up when added to liquid. We now know that soluble fiber helps to not only keep us regular but also prevent the compounds that the liver has processed from being reabsorbed back into the body. On top of this, chia seeds are one of the few plant-based sources of anti-inflammatory omega-3 & complete protein.
