Orange Chia Jam Jar
Enjoy our Orange & Chia Jam Jar, a delightful twist on traditional jam, infusing the zesty freshness of oranges with the nutritional powerhouse of chia seeds. With a perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors, this jam is enhanced by the natural pectin in oranges that complements the gelatinous texture of soaked chia seeds. This healthy alternative uses the inherent sweetness of oranges to achieve its pleasant taste. Chia seeds add a unique texture and are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber, making this jam not only a treat for the taste buds but also a boon for your health. Orange & Chia Jam Jar is versatile, serving as an excellent spread on toast, a delightful topping for yogurts and oatmeal, or even a sweetener for teas.
