I’ve been playing ‘food scientist’ and ‘chef’ with this little seed over the past few weeks and have been fascinated by its ability to convert into a gel for smoothies or remain crunchy like a poppy seed in baked goods. Mild tasting and versatile, this little seed can be easily sprinkled into foods to instantly boost the nutritional profile. A fantastic source of Omega 3, fibre and protein that is also gluten free; it has now found a welcome place in my pantry.
