Himalania Organic Dark Chocolate Covered Chia Seeds

Rich in Omega 3’s, fiber, and magnesium, organic and fair-trade Himalania chia seeds are grown in Peru. A popular seed used in cereals, chia seeds are also used as an egg replacement because the seeds when moistened expand into a gel-like texture that helps bind and elevate foods together. But beyond using chia seeds as a nutritional boost, leavening agent, or binder for cereals, puddings and baked goods, chia seeds are also a great tasting snack food, especially when they are covered in rich, dark chocolate.

Himalania Organic Dark Chocolate Chia Seeds are a perfect substitute for chocolate sprinkles. With all the crunch and flavor of chocolate sprinkles, Himalania Organic Dark Chocolate Covered Chia Seeds provide a nutritional boost that sprinkles don’t have along with being dairy-free.  So, sprinkle these delicious little morsels over oatmeal,  almond milk (or cashew or coconut milk) ice cream or yogurt. Add a quarter cup of dark chocolate covered chia seeds to cookie dough for some added flavor, nutrition, and crunch. Or, eat a spoonful right out of the bag.

Sold in 5 ounce resealable packets, Himalania Organic Dark Chocolate Chia Seeds sell for $9-$10 per bag, depending not the retailer. On-line purchases can be made at www.vitacost.com.  During the warm months when chocolate melts easily, purchase these treats at a local Whole Foods Market or fine grocery store that carries products made by the Natierra company (who owns Himalania).
