How much chia seeds should I eat per day?

The recommended daily intake is 1–2 tablespoons (15–28g) of chia seeds. This gives you approximately 5–10g of omega-3 fatty acids, 5–10g of fibre, and 3–5g of protein. Start with 1 tablespoon and increase gradually to avoid digestive discomfort.

What is the difference between chia seeds and flax seeds?

Both are excellent omega-3 sources. Chia seeds form a gel when soaked, are tasteless, and can be used directly in water or food. Flax seeds have a slightly nutty flavour, are best consumed ground (for better absorption), and are higher in lignans which support hormonal health. Both are valuable and complement each other.

Can I eat seeds during weight loss?

Yes — seeds are one of the best weight-loss foods. They are high in fibre (which suppresses appetite), rich in healthy fats (which are satiating), and provide quality plant protein. A tablespoon or two added to meals can significantly reduce overall calorie intake by keeping you full longer.

Are your seeds raw or roasted?

Our seeds are raw and unprocessed unless specifically labelled as roasted. We recommend consuming them raw or lightly toasted at home just before use to preserve the maximum omega-3 content — high heat can damage delicate fatty acids.

Do seeds need to be soaked before eating?

Chia seeds can be soaked (recommended — improves digestibility and hydration). Flax seeds are best consumed ground rather than soaked. Pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds can be eaten raw or lightly toasted without soaking. Mix seeds can be consumed directly or soaked briefly.
