These mighty non-gluten seeds, packed with Omega-3, protein, rare antioxidants, and fiber, are making a strong comeback in the 21st century. Nutiva offers both black and white chia seeds-the main difference being visual, with the white seeds preferred for some baking recipes. Enjoy them in yogurt, oatmeal, baked goods, or smoothies.
