It’s a little bit cauliflower, a little bit broccoli, and a whole lot of geometry! We think this delicious cruciferous vegetable looks a little bit alien, to be honest!

If you love fresh produce and like the convenience of home delivery, I really recommend trying out Imperfect Foods (affiliate link).

This blackberry chia seed jam recipe is so easy, and it’s free of pectin and refined sugars. It’s super easy to make, and because the chia seeds are a natural thickener, you don’t need pectin or a lot of ingredients. You can use them to grow a crazy plant/pet, you can put them in your smoothie, you can make egg replacers with them, you can make chia seed pudding, and you can make amazing fruit jam with them. Blackberries are pretty firm, and don’t release a ton of liquid when you cook them, so if you use a different berry, you may need to increase the amount of chia seeds.
