Chia Seeds: A Tiny Superfood
Clinical Professor and Chair for the Department of Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Mindy Haar, Ph.D., is quoted in a 聽article detailing the health benefits of chia seeds. According to experts, the tiny seeds are loaded with essential nutrients like fiber, protein, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids.
To easily incorporate chia seeds into your diet, Haar suggests tossing them on top of leafy greens: 鈥淎dding chia seeds, nuts, sunflower seeds, and a little bit of olive oil to your salad is a simple way to include healthful fats in your diet.鈥� She also praises the seed鈥檚 ability to work as a vegan-friendly egg replacement.
