Recommended daily amounts

Like any nutrient-rich food, chia seeds should be consumed in moderation. Around 15 grams per day—roughly one level tablespoon—is sufficient for most people. Those who are used to them may go up to 25 grams, but it’s best not to exceed 30 grams per day.

Children should consume smaller quantities. Staying well hydrated is essential, as chia seeds expand significantly when they absorb liquid.
