Want to eat healthily, but rarely have time to cook from scratch? Let us point you in the direction of our favourite new health food; Chia Seeds. Whether you scatter them over a salad, add them to a smoothie, or use them to thicken a broth, it takes a matter of seconds to turn your dinner, snack or drink into an energising superfood!
Quickly developing a cult following, Chia Seeds date as far back as the Aztecs. Known to boost energy levels, lower cholesterol, reduce heart disease, and build muscle, there’s little surprise that both dieters and athletes are getting so excited. With a subtle, nutty flavour, the seeds can either be eaten raw or used in cooking – and they are known to be more nutritious than Omega-3 rich salmon!
Available at Organic Foods & Cafes at Masdar City (retail price is 33AED).
