The power of chia seeds

They’re no ‘superfood’…but the magic of chia seeds is in the FIBRE. These small and mighty seeds have pretty impressive fibre creds. For every 28g of chia seeds, there’s a whopping 11g of fibre – for every tablespoon (~10g), that’s around 4g of gut-loving fibre.

They’re also a good plant-based source of omega-3 (ALA) and a complete protein. And they’re in every box of  Bio & Me gut-loving granola, porridge and muesli. Just remember, when it comes to your fibre sources, it’s all about VARIETY. So along with chia seeds, there are also 13-15 other types of plant-based goodness in every pack.
