The fiber in chia seeds is almost entirely soluble, meaning that it forms a thick viscous gel when mixed with water. Soluble fiber is the type of fiber that has been shown to have cholesterol lowering properties.
However, an ounce (28 grams) of chia seeds actually contains 9 grams of fat. Considering that almost all the carbs in chia seeds are fiber, the majority of calories in them actually comes from fat. In fact, by calories, chia seeds are around 80% fat. This makes them an excellent high-fat plant food.
