What Happens If You Eat Raw Chia Seeds
Raw chia seeds are not poison. They’re not going to explode in your stomach or turn you into a chia plant. All you have to do is treat them like a polite guest: give them a little liquid, a moment to settle, and they’ll reward you with steady energy and a happy tummy.
So go ahead—buy that bag of seeds. Mix them into your yogurt, your overnight oats, or even your salad dressing. Just don’t eat them by the fistful while watching TV. Your esophagus will thank you. And if you forget? Keep a big glass of water handy. You’ll be fine, I promise.
