Chia Seeds ORGANIC, 200g, Smart Natural

Chia - small seeds with big applications! With a delicate and natural taste and a pleasant "jellifying" texture, they make breakfasts more satisfying and add a finishing touch to a bowl of oats, yogurt, salads, and smoothies. They are the perfect choice for a clean, plant-based ingredient with numerous benefits in the daily menu.

Chia seeds are the richest plant source of omega-3 fatty acids, surpassing even salmon in this regard.

Chia seeds come from a desert plant called Salvia hispanica, which thrives in southern Mexico and Bolivia. It was a staple in the diet of the Aztecs and Mayans. They used this superfood to support blood flow, joint pain, and skin diseases.

Chia is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, even exceeding the amount found in flaxseed. It also contains fiber, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, iron, and zinc. Another advantage of chia is that when placed in water for 30 minutes, it gels. Studies suggest that the same reaction occurs in the stomach, thus slowing down digestive enzymes and their action of converting carbohydrates into sugar.

Chia has a nutty taste. It can be added to water with lemon or lemon juice and sugar to create a drink called "chia fresca" – as it is known in Mexico and Central America. It can also be prepared with oatmeal, salads, bread, or even consumed raw. Chia is also suitable for babies and young children.

Ingredients: 100% Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica).
