Chia seeds have become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason! Chia seeds are also great sources of micro nutrients: one serving contains 18% of your daily calcium, 30% of the RDI for manganese and magnesium, and 27% of the phosphorus you need each day. They’ve also got plenty of potassium, niacin, thiamine, Vitamin E and A, iron, and zinc. To summarize, chia seeds are a great source of healthy fats, fiber, and plant-based protein, as well as antioxidants, calcium and other important micronutrients.
