These versatile and nutritious seeds are delicious toasted and sprinkled on salads, added to smoothies or in baking. They make a great vegan egg replacement too.
Grown by Peter and Andrew Fairs in Essex, these chia seeds are the result of five years of crop trials and developments. The tiny oil-rich seeds are harvested from the Salvia hispanica plant, a member of the mint family originating in central America, where chia was a staple food in Aztec cultures, alongside beans and corn.
Toast and sprinkle on salads, use in baking, add to smoothies, porridge or granola.
