When it comes to choosing the right chia seeds to add to your diet, what it will essentially come down to at the end of the day is choosing between white chia seeds and black chia seeds. While both variants are similar in their nutritional values, we recommend using a mixed pack or whichever is available to you.
Chia seeds can be prepared in a multitude of interesting and heart-healthy ways. They can simply be added whole to whatever it is you are eating. From bountiful breakfast yoghurts to refreshing salads, just scatter your chia seeds on top and tuck into healthy goodness. Chia seeds can also be ground up and added into thirst-quenching smoothies and a delicious granola mix.
For daily or weekly use, be sure to keep your heart-healthy chia seeds in an air-tight plastic container or glass jar. Be sure to keep them stored in a dry and cool place like your pantry or a storage cupboard.
