They’re rich in omega-3 fatty acids and are a great source of B Vitamins and riboflavin. The seeds are also a pseuedocereal and are often used as a topping.A chia seed can absorb up to 12 time its weight in liquids. This means it can also be used to keep baked goods moist. Some products that contain chia seeds have a gel-like texture.
