Chia Seeds: A Tiny Superfood

June 16, 2026

Clinical Professor and Chair for the Department of Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Mindy Haar, Ph.D., is quoted in a article detailing the health benefits of chia seeds. According to experts, the tiny seeds are loaded with essential nutrients like fiber, protein, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids.

To easily incorporate chia seeds into your diet, Haar suggests tossing them on top of leafy greens: Adding chia seeds, nuts, sunflower seeds, and a little bit of olive oil to your salad is a simple way to include healthful fats in your diet. She also praises the seeds ability to work as a vegan-friendly egg replacement.
