Organic Chia Seed

Chia Seeds are packed with OMEGA 3, ANTIOXIDANTS and DIETARY FIBRE!

Chia seeds are an ancient superfood consumed by the ancient civilizations, Aztecs and Mayans. Chia means “strength” in the Mayan language, and was a source of energy for long voyages and food for warriors, combined with corn. Chia is also known as the perfect ‘running food’; it is said that the Tarahumara Indians in Mexico is able to run all day on the energy from chia seeds mixed with water and lemon juice (a recipe called chia fresca or iskiate)

Chia is the richest plant source of Omega-3 fatty acids. It has a good range of B vitamins, more calcium than milk, healthy omega-3 oils, high levels of anti-oxidants, and important trace-minerals such as boron, which prevents arthritis and osteoporosis. The seeds are also a good source of dietary fibre.

What’s the difference between Black Chia Seeds and White Chia Seeds?  Answer: There is no significant nutritional difference between the black and white seeds. Both have their fair share of Omega 3, antioxidants and dietary fibre. White chia seeds will probably be more visually appealing in food recipes. However dark-colored foods are known to have more antioxidants than light-colored foods, generally speaking, due to high pigment content.
