Knowledge Drop | Known as one of the healthiest foods on the planet, chia seeds are small yet mighty, supplying your body with an abundance of essential nutrients including omega-3 fats, fiber, manganese + magnesium.

A perfect example of why we shouldn't judge something based on its size, chia seeds may be small, but they sure are mighty! Just 2 tablespoons (1oz or 28 grams) of the tiny black seeds supply your body with 30% of your daily recommended fiber intake, necessary for healthy digestion. They are also rich in omega-3 fats, which play a vital role in your body, supplying it with energy to perform basic functions. They may even help promote brain health, fight anxiety + depression and can improve eye health.
