Buy Organic Chia Seeds and add them to almost ANY meal
The common complaint about flax seeds is that their flavor is too strong and they overpower the meal. Organic Chia Seeds are almost tasteless, so they easily disappear into most meals. When combined with liquid they gel and become soft. When tossed on salads they add a little extra crunch. You can Heat the seeds to add them to baking, soups, stews and sauces without affecting their nutritional value.
