Chia seeds offer support for a variety of diets. They are ideal for people wanting to add more fibre to their food as well as vegetarians and vegans seeking a source of Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's).
They work best when either pre-soaked or added to a drink or liquid. They work in a similar fashion to linseed (flaxseeds) when soaked forming a gel like coating which helps as a digestive.
