chia seeds

Health experts at UT MD Anderson have published a primer on chia seeds, explaining what they are and how they may improve health. The guide covers the tiny seeds' nutritional profile, including fibre, protein and omega-3 fatty acids, and offers practical advice on adding them to everyday meals. Interest in the seeds reflects a wider surge of attention to simple, plant-based foods that are easy to incorporate into a healthy diet.

EatingWell has published a roundup of its 20 most-saved chia seed recipes, highlighting the dishes readers bookmark most often. The collection spans puddings, breakfasts and snacks built around chia seeds, which remain popular for their fibre, omega-3 content and versatility. Food editors say save counts are a strong signal of which healthy recipes people actually plan to cook.
