NOW Chia Seeds, White, 1 lb (Blanco Salvia)

Rich in Omega-3 and Fiber

Chia seeds are one of the best known sources of essential fatty acids, with nearly two-thirds being comprised of Omega-3 as ALA.  They are also an excellent source of Omega-6, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, dietary fiber, and protein. These seeds can be eaten on their own or added to salads, cereals, yogurts, etc. to boost nutritional content.

Chia seeds are rich in antioxidants, 4 times the amount found in blueberries.  It has more fiber than flax seeds, and more omega-3 than found in salmon. You can turn your morning smoothie into a superfood by adding a tablespoon of chia seeds.  Make a protein drink a complete meal by adding fiber, omega-3, and antioxidants.  Chia seeds swell up and absorb liquids, and become gelatinous, so make a pudding with chia seeds and your choice of water, almond milk, green tea, etc.  Add nuts, gogi berries, stevia, vanilla flavoring, berries for a delicious and super healthy snack.
