CHIA SEEDS

CHIA SEED

History...

Chia was first used as a food as early as 3500 BCE, and grown by the Toltec and Teotiahuan civilizations before the arrival of the Aztecs in Mexico. These peoples considered chia a sacred food and medicine.

What is special about Chia ?

High Content of Quality Plant OMEGA-3
Chia has the highest-know percentage of omega-3 among plants. It offers an astoundingly balanced 3:1 ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 oil. The full-range of benefits provided by omega-3 and omega-6 oils include enhancing heart health, boosting brain function, improving mood, immune enhancement, and supporting healthy skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes.

100gm of CHIA = 545ml milk (calcium)

= 400gm spinach (Iron)
= 216gm nuts (Magnesium)
= 992gm salmon (Omega 3)
= 294gm oats (Fiber)
= 900gm oranges (Antioxidants)
= 178gm bananas (Potassium)

Broad spectrum of easy digestible NUTRIENTsChia contains important micronutrients all readily assimilated because chia is whole food. Thier shells are easily broken down, even when wsallowed whole. As the nutrients travel to the cells very quickly due to the ease in digestion and assimilation. Our body will use them when you want to build or regenerate healthy body tissue. This is an advantage over flax seed, which have to be ground up to be digested properly.
