Happy National Chia Day!!

This mighty little seed is considered a super food and for good reason. It is high in many of the B vitamins, fibre and omega 3. Chia seeds also contains minerals including calcium, magnesium, manganese, iron, phosphorus and zinc, all of which are needed for a healthy body. The chia seed can absorb up to 12X its weight in liquid, creating a gelatinous texture. Which is perfect for replacing an egg in a recipe for any vegan friends you may have.
