Highly Nutritive
Organic chia seeds (Salvia hispanica) are raw materials grown without chemical preparations and artificial fertilizers on surfaces with no air pollutants.
Chia seeds owe their well-deserved popularity to the numerous nutrients in their composition and their effects on the human body and organisms.
These black, white, and dark brown seeds are known today as a superfood and are rich in antioxidants, fiber, and minerals such as magnesium, zinc, iron, and calcium. Chia seeds are the richest plant source of omega-3 fatty acids, especially alpha-linoleic acid. They can be entered only through food, and consuming them can help prevent cardiovascular diseases. When we talk about fiber, just two tablespoons of this seed contain twice as much fiber as one apple, and we know that fiber-rich foods promote intestinal health by stimulating their work. It is also an excellent choice for all people training or trying to reduce their intake of sweets because, with 0 grams of sugar and almost 20 grams of protein, it is an ideal combination for weight loss and a more prolonged feeling of satiety. Among powerful antioxidants, we single out chlorogenic and caffeic acid, which help reduce blood pressure and inflammatory processes.

Use and Storage
Very mild and pleasant taste, chia seeds can be used in a handful of ways. It is recommended to soak the seeds before consumption for easier digestion and a more prolonged feeling of satiety. They can be soaked in water, vegetable milk, or yogurt for several hours until a gelatinous structure forms around them. Such can be a pudding with sweeteners, fresh fruit, and granola. They can be sprinkled over salads or soups as an additional source of protein in vegetarian and vegan diets or used as a substitute for eggs when making muffins and cakes. In addition, ground chia seeds are increasingly utilized as gluten-free flour, from which various types of dough are made, such as bread, homemade tortillas, and sweet treats.
Store in the original packaging in a dry, dark, and cool place, away from sources of heat and sunlight.
