Chia Seeds

...the little seed that packs
​a big punch

Chia seeds
What the heck are chia seeds?

Chia comes from the desert plant Salvia Hispinania. The plant contains Chia (the seed) and these are edible. Let’s start with the health benefits.
  • Two tablespoons of chia seeds have almost 64% more potassium than a banana.
  • If you’re constipated, chia seeds are your answer. They have 40% of your daily fiber intake for the day, that’s 8g of fiber for just 2 TBLS.   
  • Chia seeds are also relative high in fat, 10g per serving. It means they have 100% more omega 3 fatty acids than salmon. It will keep you full longer.
  • They  contain 6g of protein per serving. 
  • Relatively low in carbohydrates, 12g per serving and only 4 net carbohydrates minus the fiber.
  • Chia seeds also contain magnesium, about 95mg per serving, which means that around 30% of your daily magnesium requirements for the day.
