Organic Chia

Nature’s Perfect Food: Gram for gram, chia seeds are a superior source of many nutrients without the worry of contamination, allergies, and sodium. Their mild, nuttty flavor and versatility makes them perfectly suited for modern day life and a healthy addition to all diets. Benefits: Superior Source of Omega-3’s No toxins, heavy metals, or fillers: Unlike fish oils, Chia does not contain harmful toxins or fillers. Low allergy risk: Allergic reactions to fish are among one of the most common food allergies in children and adults. No processing required: Unlike flax seeds, which need to be ground to realize their full benefit, chia seeds do not need to be ground. Shelf stable: Antioxidants in the seed protect the oils from going rancid, allowing for a shelf stable product. Flax oil and fish oil are highly prone to oxidation, and must be kept in a dark container in the refrigerator and must be consumed within a few months of opening. Less sodium: Chia seeds contain 1.8, 2.6, 3.5 and 163 times less sodium per 100 grams of an edible portion than flaxseeds, canned tuna in water, pink salmon, and algae. Perfect Ratio of Omega-3 & Omega-6: Chia seeds provide the highest amounts of vegetarian Omega-3’s, and offer an ideal Omega-3 to Omega-6 ratio of 3:1. These essential fatty acids may promote cardiovascular and neurological health, brain development and functioning, aid in skin repair, and may help in maintaining healthy cholesterol and blood glucose levels.* High Quality Protein Chia seeds are a great vegetarian source of high quality protein containing all essential amino acids. They are perfect for vegetarians and people missing protein in their diets. This protein is more easily absorbed and digested than animal derived proteins.* Richest Whole Food Source of Fiber Just one serving of our seeds provides 20% of the daily recommended intake of fiber. Chia contains both insoluble and soluble fiber, which may assist in helping to maintaining healthy cholesterol and blood glucose levels as well as aid with digestion, detoxification, and weight loss.*
