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