Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are among the easiest superfoods to add to a Pakistani diet. Two tablespoons carry roughly 10 g of dietary fibre along with plant protein, calcium, magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids in the form of ALA. They have almost no taste of their own, which is why they work equally well in a glass of water, a lassi, a smoothie or sprinkled over dahi. When soaked they form a soft gel that helps you feel full for longer, which is why they are popular with people managing their weight.

Key Benefits

• A rich plant source of dietary fibre, which supports regular digestion
• Contains omega-3 (ALA), plant protein, calcium and magnesium
• Absorbs many times its weight in water and helps you feel fuller for longer
• Neutral flavour — mixes into drinks, yoghurt, oats and baking without changing the taste
• No cooking required, so nothing is lost to heat

How to Use

Soak 1–2 teaspoons in a glass of water for 15–20 minutes until a gel forms, then drink — ideally in the morning or before a meal. You can also stir the dry seeds straight into yoghurt, smoothies, oats or salad. Start with one teaspoon a day and increase gradually, and drink plenty of water alongside.
