    Nutritional benefits of chia seeds

    Unlike regular jam you find at the market, this chia seed jam is lower in sugar (you can adjust this to your needs) and contains all of the nutrient rich qualities of chia seeds—they're an absolute superfood!

    Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids

    Chia seeds are one of the best plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Omega-3s are essential for heart health, reducing inflammation, and supporting brain function.

    High in Fiber

    They are an excellent source of dietary fiber, with about 10 grams per ounce (28 grams). This helps with digestion and promotes gut health.

    Packed with Antioxidants

    Chia seeds are rich in antioxidants, which protect the body from free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and lowering the risk of chronic diseases.

    Good Source of Protein

    They contain around 4 grams of protein per ounce, making them a good plant-based protein source, especially for vegetarians and vegans.

    Rich in Minerals

    Chia seeds are high in essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and manganese, which are important for bone health, energy production, and overall metabolic function.

    Hydration and Electrolyte Balance

    Fun fact! When soaked in water, chia seeds absorb up to 12 times their weight, forming a gel-like consistency. This can help with hydration and maintaining electrolyte balance, which is especially beneficial during exercise.
