Chia seeds are known for being high in fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants.
Paired with yogurt, granola, and fresh fruit, our Strawberry Chia Jam recipe will start your morning off right.
Our Strawberry Flavour brings in the sweetness of a fresh, ripe strawberry, so no matter the season, you always get the taste of a perfectly sun-ripened strawberry.
Our Orange Flavour Drops add in a burst of fruity citrus and is the perfect companion to Strawberry. Orange and strawberry are natural flavour pairings commonly found in classic desserts, and this jam is no exception.
