Chia seeds contain approximately 20% protein, 35% oil and 25% fiber. They are high in antioxidants and offer a range of nutrients, including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and zinc. And as one of the richest vegetable sources of omega-3 fatty acids, chia seeds can also help protect against heart disease and inflammation, making them especially beneficial for those with diabetes, hypertension and arthritis.
