Goodyfull Organic Chia Seeds

I have never really tried chia seeds, and the opportunity to try Goodyfull chia seeds, was too good to miss.   I have already reviewed their organic cacao powder see here and know they are quality products.   Goodyfull is the brainchild of Lex, a marketing professional, inspired by his personal experience of better nutrition and exercise, whilst balancing his busy day to day life.

For their customers convenience, they supply the products via a subscription service, so you choose your favourite, how often and how much you need and they deliver.   You only get charged when the products are shipped and they even send you a reminder, to check if you are ready for your next delivery and if not you can delay shipment.   The chia seeds are supplied in a 100% recyclable, resealable bag and are best stored in a cool dark place.

Chia seeds are powerhouses absolutely crammed with nutrients, so excellent for any diet and for vegans they also make an excellent egg replacer, when mixed with water.   They contain almost five times more calcium than milk and three times more iron than spinach.   They are made up of 20% protein and large quantities of Omega 3 fatty acids, even more than flax seeds.

Originating from an South American herb, they are a member of the mint family and were traditionally used as flour, cereal and mixed in drinks.

I had my morning bowl of porridge with raisins, agave syrup, but sprinkled with chia seeds, which gives a huge kick to the nutritional content of the dish, as well as a slight crunch.

I then decided to make some raw orange brownies, replacing some of the walnuts I would normally use, with ground chia seeds, which worked a treat and gave them a nutritional boost into the bargain.

I would definitely use the chia seeds again, as they are such a versatile product, with huge nutritional benefits and my next experiment will be a cake made with 'chia eggs'...watch this space!
