                                According to a 2025 study from the University of Adelaide, grinding chia seeds can significantly enhance the bioavailability of key nutrients like antioxidants and omega-3s, but does that mean eating them whole is a waste? The truth is, both methods have unique benefits depending on your digestive health, dietary needs, and how you plan to use them.
