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 and will easily disappear into most meals. When combined with liquid they become soft. When tossed in salads they add a welcome extra crunch. You can even heat Chia seeds without affecting their nutritional value, so they can safely be added to baking, soups, stews and sauces. (although you should avoid extremely high temperatures).
