Originally from Central America, known as the « Indian Running Food », Chia seeds, are more and more sought after - no surprise there! High in fiber and protein, they are surprisingly rich in Omega-3 as well as other nutrients, such as calcium.

Mild in taste, Chia seeds are easy to add to sauces, salads, smoothies, breads, or simply to yogurt, enhancing the essential fatty acid values of food without adulterating the flavors. They are a fantastic alternative to saturated-fat dairy products, serving as a source of calcium that won't clog up our arteries.

They are available all over the world under different names:
Common name : Chia Seeds, or Chia sage
Aztec name : Chian
Chinese name : Dan Shen
Native American name : Pashi
Botanical name : Salvia Hispanica

On the nutritional front, Chia Seeds' protein content is as high as 23%. They are also high in fiber and absorbable calcium, and are naturally rich in essential fatty acids - the best source of vegetarian Omega-3, crucial for balancing out Omega-6 (GLA) which is more abundant in our diets.

Because of their high fiber content, Chia seeds are an excellent natural appetite suppressant in a similar way to the pectin in apples.

Nutritional comparison:
                 Linseed Chia
Omega-3    2.48g     2.45g
Fiber         3g         4g
Calcium     36mg     70mg
Iron            0.55mg    0.99mg
