You Have To Get Your Chia

No Natural Grain is Healthier

1.   THE RICHEST SOURCE OF OMEGA-3

Chia seed and its oil are naturally comprised of more than 63% Omega-3 fatty acid per 100 grams. This is the highest percentage of Omega-3 of any available food source, and of any known food grain. It is 10% higher than Flax; compared to Flax seed, at 54.6%, or Hemp’s 19.9%.

2.   HIGH QUALITY PROTEIN Chia is superior in protein quality to, wheat, corn, and rice, the most popular and abundant grains in the world. However, Chia also surpasses flax and soy, as well as oat, barley and amaranth in protein quality. Chia seeds provide the highest source of protein, between 19% and 23% by weight, when compared to other grains. Studies have shown that diets high in lean protein can promote weight loss.

3.   Low-Fat Flour

Chia Seed Flour is low-fat. One 14 gram serving contains just 35 calories, and 1.4 grams of fat, compared to oatmeal which has 105 calories and 2 grams of fat.

4.   EXCELLENT SOURCE OF FIBER

Chia contains twice as much fiber as Flax. In fact, two tablespoons of Chia can provide 30% of the daily fiber intake recommended by the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA). High fiber diets have also been shown to promote weight loss, and improve other gastrointestinal functions.

5.   CHIA AND DIABETES

Chia Seed tends to slow digestion and helps maintain blood sugar levels, which can be helpful in preventing or controlling diabetes.*

6.   ANTIOXIDANTS, VITAMINS AND MINERALS

Chia (Salvia Hispanica L) offers a disease-fighting arsenal of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. These include: Chlorogenic acid, Caffeic acid, and flavonols, Myricetin and Quercetin. Each 2 tablespoon serving delivers 73% of the Biotin, 63% of the Chromium, 43% of the Molybdenum, and 21% of the Selenium recommended daily.

7.   FLUID BALANCE IN THE BODY Chia seeds absorb more than nine times their volume in water, or any other liquid. This prolongs hydration and retains electrolytes in body fluids; especially helpful during exertion or exercise. Normal fluid retention in the body ensures electrolyte dispersion across cell membranes, and aids normal cellular function.

8.   Supports Strength and Endurance

Supports sustained energy. It has been used as an energy supplement for over 500 years. Although it was first cultivated by the Aztecs, the Mayans and other Native American peoples had long discovered the wondrous qualities of Chia. Its history as a food dates back to 3500 BC, as Chia is the ultimate nutritional storage device. The Aztecs gave it to their warriors, knowing that 2 tablespoons of Chia Seeds was enough to sustain a person of an entire day. It was also thought to an advantage on the battle field.

9.   NATURAL SATIATIVE PROPERTIES

When introduced to water, Chia produces a thick mucilage, or gel. This is also occurs in stomach, leading to a feeling of fullness and warding off intense feelings of hunger.

10.               No Grinding Required 

The body can digest whole Chia Seed as well as Chia Seed Flour. They can be eaten whole. No graining necessary. They also have a long shelf-life, up to 9 years when stored dry.
