Chia Seeds
Like all the other seeds, Chia is a perfect food, full of important nutrients, containing all the necessary elements for our vitality.
Chia seeds are not only a great source of omega-3 fatty acid, but they also provide fibre, protein, antioxidants, iron and calcium.
They are great for heart health, they lubricate dryness and may help treat constipation.
Be careful how you store chia seeds to avoid rancidity. Best to keep them in the freezer in a glass bottle. Then take out the amount you need to eat, soak them in filtered water and keep them in the fridge overnight. For one tbs of Chia seeds, you will need 6-7 tbs of water to soak to soak them in. In the morning they will have a gel like texture. Eaten this way they will also help with acid reflux.
You can also soak them in almond milk or oat milk for a delicious and healthy desert.
Try to buy organic non- sprayed ones and enjoy them few times a week.
They are amazing.
