When it comes to omega, people often think of the benefits of salmon. However, salmon is expensive and poses a risk of mercury contamination. In Vietnamese markets, there are many types of Chia seeds. These small seeds, like sesame seeds, are high in nutritional value. In 100g of Chia seeds, there are 17.5g of Omega-3, which is four times the amount of Omega-3 in 100g of salmon. Meanwhile, the price of Chia seeds in the market is only around 150,000 VND per kg. Therefore, Chia seeds are a worthy choice for supplementing Omega-3 for your health.

Chia seeds are very versatile and can be used to make porridge, cakes, used in baking or sprinkled on salads, mixed with yogurt. Chia seeds are widely available in Vietnam, so you can easily buy them at a relatively affordable price. Providing enough Omega-3 helps the brain develop, enhances memory, and protects the cardiovascular system.
