Chia Seeds

Description

A diet with adequate fiber helps prevent constipation and keeps the digestive tract healthy, but many Americans do not eat enough.

Chia seeds can help people to meet dietary requirements for fiber. One serving of 28 grams (g), or 2 1/2 tablespoons (tbsp), provides just under 10 gTrusted Source of fiber. The daily recommendation for adults is 25–30 g, so a serving of chia seeds can fulfill 30% of this.
