Black & White Chia Seeds in a 250g resealable pack
 |
The Chia seed (salvia hispanica) is the highest known plant source of Omega-3 (8 times more than salmon!) and unlike other sources of this important essential fatty acid (eg, flaxseed or fish), it is highly stable due to its powerful naturally occurring antioxidants. Both black and white varieties have been combined to maximise their unique nutritional benefits for your optimal health.
Chia is also a good source of potassium, phosphorus, folate, zinc, fibre, vitamins A, B12 & C, and a great source of 18 amino acids (including tryptophan and tyrosine). Packed with complete proteing (up to 23%) and 5 times more calcium than milk, 6 times more fibre than oatbran, 3 times more iron than spinach, 15 times more magnesium than broccoli and an ORAC value 4 times higher than blueberries. What an easy way to add dietary nutrition.
Chia is a more sustainable enviro-friendly agricultural choice for our Australian farmers being a bug-resistant arid crop producing seed even with limited water. It was so revered by the Aztecs as a source of energy that it was used as money.
Serving Suggestion:
Sprinkle these flavourless seeds on salads, muesli, oatmeal or cereal.
Grind into smoothies or add to muffin or bread batter.
Alternatively, make a gel mixing 1 tablespoon of seed with 1 cup of water, wait 10 minutes then consume 1 teaspoon (refrigerate up to 3 weeks).
