A small Chia seed holds a lot of all sorts of goodies: plenty of omega-3 fatty acids, plenty of fiber, and plenty of protein. No wonder the word “Chia” in the Mayan Indian language means strength and power. The taste of chia seeds is completely neutral, so they are perfect for bread dough, porridge, smoothies and pastries to enrich your diet. Chia seeds bind a lot of liquid, so use more liquid than the recipe mentions, adding them to the dough, for example, or soaking the chia seeds in water for 20 minutes before use.
