Nutrition
Chia Seeds are one of the richest sources of plant-based Omega 3 fatty acids (ALA), an anti-inflammatory fatty acid that is essential for human health. In addition to good Omega 3s (about 3000 mg in every 2-tablespoon serving), these tiny seeds are also loaded with protein, antioxidants, and dietary fiber. Chia seeds contain 5 times more calcium than milk, and 34 times more antioxidants than blueberries!
With regard to protein quality, Chia has about 20% of complete protein with all essential amino acids (EAAs) that our body cannot produce on its own. These seeds have a low glycemic index (GI), which means they will not spike blood sugar levels and can support weight loss efforts.
Chia Seeds have numerous anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. In addition to boosting energy and endurance levels, Chia Seeds can help lower blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, as well as improve digestive, brain, skin, bone and joint health. It is good for older adults to consume Chia Seeds to prevent arthritis and osteoporosis. In short, Chia Seeds are truly an all-rounder superfood that can yield many health benefits for both adults and children.

Story of Chia Seed
In the book ‘Born to Run’, the author highlights the remarkable endurance of Mexico's Tarahumara tribe, known for running vast distances in simple sandals, fueled by a plant-based diet and 'Iskiate', a chia seed-infused lemonade.

How To Enjoy
Soak Chia Seeds in water/liquids, stir and let sit for some time (5 minutes or more - the longer the better). The hydrated seeds will expand in size and become somewhat gelatinous - better for digestion.
1) Add 1 tablespoon seeds to 1 big cup of water, juice or beverages. Stir well to break up any lumps, let sit for a few minutes or soak overnight. Stir before drinking.
2) Add seeds to soups, salads, oatmeal. Let seeds absorb water/liquid before consuming.
3) Bake seeds into breads and cakes.
4) Chia gel (mix chia seeds and small amount of water – 1 portion seed to 4 or 6 portions water – stir and let mixture sit for a while-15 to 30min- till it becomes gel) – stir chia gel into salad dressings, porridges, deserts.
Recommended daily intake: 2 tablespoons or 15g, any time in the day/night. Store opened pack in cool, dry place.
Children to take 1/2 (half) the recommended serving of adults.
Note: As Chia Seeds have a natural blood-thinning effect and can lower blood pressure, it may not be a suitable daily supplement for those with a history of low blood pressure.
