Why take Chia Seeds?

Chia seeds are a balanced food that provides significant amounts of essential fatty acids (Omega-3), proteins (essential amino acids) as well as both soluble and insoluble fibres.

Approximately 30% of chia seeds is comprised of essential fatty acids, of which -linolenic acid (ALA, Omega 3) has the highest concentration (60% - 70%). In comparison to flaxseeds, the ALA concentration within chia seeds is 3.5 times higher. There is no cholesterol found in chia seeds, unlike other fatty acid sources.

Chia seeds contain 21% protein with 9 essential amino acids in their optimal proportions. Lysine is found in chia seeds in a high concentration, which usually is the most limiting indispensable amino acid in natural foods.

Chia seeds also contain a variety of vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin B1, B2, B3, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and zinc. These trace minerals provide a wide range of beneficial effects on enhancing bone health, preventing osteoporosis,  boosting immune system and promoting red blood cell production to prevent anaemia.  Chia seeds are considered as a low sodium food, containing only 2.1mg in every 100g.

Compared on the same weight, chia seeds contain 8 times more omega-3 than that in salmon, 6 times more calcium than milk, 3 times the iron of spinach, 3 times more antioxidants than blueberries, and twice the potassium of bananas. These seeds can be an optimal food choice for people who are vegetarian, allergic to seafood or can not stand the strong flavour from fish. They are also safe for people with celiac disease as it is free from gluten.

Chia seeds are a rich supply of antioxidants, such as quercetin, kaempferol, myrecitin, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid. The amount of antioxidants in chia seeds makes them used more frequently these days than in the past.

These Chia Seeds are grown just 30 miles from the Aztec capital, where they originated.
They are grown the way that nature intended, in mountaneous air and do not require artificial irrigation.
