Cha cha cha chia! Back in the day, few knew that the seeds that made the kitschy ceramic pets advertised on TV sprout "hair" were so nutritious. Today, the poppy-like seeds are trending all on their own as a nutritional powerhouse rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants. The type of fiber in the seeds gives them a unique ability to expand in liquid to create a custard-like texture as in this yogurt pudding-style parfait. Enjoy chia seeds sprinkled onto hot or cold cereal, blended into smoothies, or ground to add to muffins or pancakes.
