Chia Seeds
Country of origin: Argentina
Chia seeds are traditionally consumed in South America and are thought to have been a staple crop of the Aztecs. They are prized for their nutritional content and versatility.
One of the benefits of Chia is as a source of protein which contributes to a growth in muscle mass. It is also high in calcium, potassium and magnesium which support normal muscle function. Chia is also a great source of iron which contributes to the normal function of the immune system and phosphorous which aids in the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. Finally, Chia is loaded with Omega-3 fatty acids which contribute to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. Sprinkle over your breakfast, or roll into your baking and enjoy as a part of a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet.
