HIGH-FIBRE FOODS: CHIA SEEDS
Chia seeds pack a lot of fibre into a small amount, but their unusual texture means they will not suit everyone.
This resource looks at chia as a source of fibre and plant-based omega-3 ALA, while keeping sensory needs firmly in the conversation. It explains why fibre is best increased gradually, why fluid matters, and how chia can be adapted, blended or left out altogether if the texture is not manageable.
For ARFID and sensory-led eating, the message is simple: a nutritious food is not automatically the right food for you.
