Whole Food Source of Omega 3 EFAs and Fiber
Gluten-Free Nutrition
This ancient food source of the Aztecs contains the highest level of omega 3 essential fatty acids available from plant sources - even higher than flax seed. The naturally high level of antioxidants protect the omega 3 oils from oxidation. Unlike flax seed, chia does not have to be refrigerated.
Also high in protein and antioxidants, chia is low in carbohydrates and is gluten free.
Chia seeds are rich in soluble fiber that provides slow & sustained release of energy from carbohydrates and lipids. This characteristic makes chia a high value food for athletes, dieters and diabetics. |
