The Chia seed (Salvia hispanica) is the highest known plant source of anti-inflammatory Omega-3 (8 times more than salmon!) and unlike other sources of this important essential fatty acid (flax seed / fish / hemp), it is highly stable due to its powerful naturally occurring antioxidants. Both colours of Chia seed have been combined to maximise their unique nutritional benefits.
Chia seed is also a good source of potassium, phosphorous, folate, zinc, Vitamins A, B12 and C, and a great source of 18 amino acids (including tryptophan and tyrosine) and bowel / cholesterol / blood sugar regulating soluble and insoluble fibre. Chia seed is also packed with complete protein (up to 23%) and 5 times more calcium than milk, 3 times more iron than spinach, 15 times more magnesium than broccoli and has an ORAC value 4 times higher than blueberries.

Sprinkle the seeds (they are flavourless) on salads, muesli, oatmeal or cereal. Grind into smoothies or add to muffin or bread batter. Alternatively, make a gel mixing 1 tablespoon with 1 cup water, wait 10 mins and consume 1 teaspoon (refrigerate for up to 3 weeks).
Chia is a more sustainable enviro-friendly agricultural choice for our Australian farmers - being a bug resistant arid crop producing seed even with limited water.
And it was so revered by the Aztecs as a source of supernatural energy and power that it was used as money.
