Chia

nutrient value

Chia seeds are the highest plant source of Omega 3. What’s Omega 3 you might ask? It’s an essential fatty acid - complicated stuff! And your body needs it but can’t make it - so we have to find it in the foods we eat.

magical facts

Chia seeds are so high in antioxidants, no preservatives are required to keep them in tiptop condition for a long, long, long, long, long, long, long (got the message yet?!) time!

trivia

When water is added to Chia seeds they become mucilaginous – which is a fancy word for gel-forming. This slows down the rate we absorb other foods like carbohydrates which helps balance blood sugar levels. This mucilaginous quality also makes the seeds look like frog spawn!
