Product Description
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, and away from direct sunlight. Keep in a sealed container. Do not freeze or refrigerate. Shelf life is 3 years if stored as directed. Chia is among the richest, unprocessed, whole food source of pure Omega 3. A member of the mint family, Chia is native to Central America and has been used traditionally for over 3000 years. Ancient Aztec warriors prized Chia as an endurance promoting superfood, eating it in bread just before battle, and drinking it in water before running long distances.
Due to its high fiber content, Chia seed absorbs more than ten times its weight in water, making it an excellent source of hydration. Chia's soluble fiber forms a gel that slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, binds it to toxins in the digestive system, and helps eliminate waste.
Chia is especially rich in essential fatty acids and high-ORAC antioxidants like quercetin, myrecetin, caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid. As a result, Chia seeds maintain a 99% sprout rate and have a shelf life of up to 5 years. Chia seeds are rich in Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium, Iron, Zinc, many trace minerals and biologically-complete protein, making it the perfect survival food. Our chia is non-GMO.
We recommend eating 45 grams (approximately 3 tablespoons) of chia everyday. Sprinkle on breakfast cereal, yogurt, jelly sandwiches. Blend in smoothies, mix in salads, soups, or use in breads and pastries.
