The common way to eat Chiaya seeds is to decorate them in western food. Among the popular Kiya seed eating methods on the Internet, there are other eating methods, such as dry eating, soaking in water, soaking in milk, mixing yogurt and fruit, grinding and pressing oil.

Chiaya seeds are white, black, reddish brown and other colors. Spotted or mixed with black and white has no great influence on nutritional components, but avoid choosing Chiaya seeds with reddish brown. Chiaya seeds with this color are often not mature enough, their nutritional value will be affected, and their edible taste will be bitter.

Dietary fiber has a high satiety, which makes consumers reduce their food intake and promotes gastrointestinal peristalsis and defecation. However, dietary fiber has certain effects of lowering blood pressure and blood sugar.

The recommended daily dietary fiber content of normal people is 25g-30g, and the dietary fiber content of Chiaya seeds is 34.4 g/ 100g. If consumers who need to lose weight have low blood pressure, eating too much Chiaya seeds may further lower their blood pressure.
