Partner content: Cha-Cha-Cha CHIA Seeds
I got a question this week on LinkedIn (yes, you can find me there!) about chia seeds so let’s take a look:
What are they?: They are small black seeds from the chia plant which is native to Mexico and Guatemala. They look a little like poppy seeds but are larger.
What’s the benefit of eating/using or cooking with them?
Chia seeds are a source of fiber, omega 3-fatty acids, and protein.

• Help with digestion and gut health.
• Reduce "bad" cholesterol
