Five easy ways to eat chia seeds every day

Chia seeds are neutral in flavour and absorb liquid readily, which makes them one of the easiest superfoods to add to an existing routine — no new recipes required.

Overnight chia pudding. Stir two tablespoons of chia into a cup of milk or curd, sweeten lightly, and refrigerate overnight. By morning it sets into a pudding you can top with fruit.

Stir into dal or raita. A spoon of dry chia stirred into dal, raita or soup thickens it slightly and adds crunch without changing the taste.

Chia water. Soak a tablespoon in a glass of water with lemon for fifteen minutes for a simple everyday drink.

Bake it in. Add a spoon to roti dough, parathas or homemade bread for extra fibre without altering the texture much.
