Description: Superstar of breakfasts, great friend of vegan pastries, the list of virtues of the chia seed is long and its reputation is second to none. It is a naturally gluten-free food, an excellent vegetable source of omega-3 fatty acids, rich in protein and fiber, full of antioxidants and minerals. This complete seed is so easy to add to your diet that there is no reason not to. Pre-ground, it has a more subtle texture than the whole seed, which makes it even more discreet when you add it to your favorite smoothies, porridges and dishes. One serving (2 tbsp) of chia can provide 230-350% of your daily plant-based omega-3 (ALA) needs. Since the body is unable to manufacture this type of fat itself, which is essential for the proper functioning of our brains, it is important to get a good quantity of it from our diet. Chia seeds contain a large amount of good fats and a quarter of this total amount is made up of ALA.
Ingredients: Organic white ground chia seeds.
Use: Chia seeds are easily incorporated into the daily diet. Their taste is very light, so they do not alter the flavors of your dishes. Add chia to your smoothies, juices, lemonades and other beverages, or in your soups, salads and sauces. Sprinkle chia on your oatmeal, yogurt and cereal. Use chia in your cake recipes as an egg substitute or as a gluten-free thickener.
