Organic Chia Seeds, 200g, Dragon Superfoods

Chia seeds (Salvia Hispanica) were a traditional food in the daily lives of the Mayans and Aztecs thousands of years ago. A "mandatory" food for their warriors, messengers, and during long treks and journeys. Chia seeds also gained popularity as "running food" due to the energy boost they provide to the body. Nowadays, they are one of the most popular superfoods.

Chia seeds are valued as a food, a source of Omega-3, proteins, and fiber. They are preferred by vegetarians due to their plant-based protein combined with fatty acids. These small seeds contain a significant amount of fiber, one of the reasons for their beneficial effect on the normal function of the digestive system. Their hydrophilic property and natural ability to gel the liquid they are soaked in contribute to this effect. The jelly-like consistency is gentle on the stomach, does not cause irritation, and soothes mucous membranes, while also stimulating peristalsis.

Chia seeds are as small as sesame seeds but round. The most common variety in Europe is with black seeds, but there is also white chia.
