Chia seeds vs. basil seeds 🌱 What’s the difference? 💧 Basil seeds hydrate much faster, have a bouncy, slightly crunchy texture, and generally provide more fiber gram for gram. 🥄 Chia seeds take longer to hydrate, create a thicker gel like texture, and are naturally rich in omega 3s. For drinks and stacked water, I prefer the texture of basil seeds. For smoothies, chia pudding and overnight recipes, chia works really well. Neither is necessarily better, they’re just different. I like using both! #chiaseeds #basilseeds #fiber #fibermaxxing #fibre
