Black and White Chia Seeds

The Chia seed (Salvia hispanica) is the highest known plant source of anti-inflammatory Omega-3 (8 times higher than Salmon), and unlike other sources of this important fatty acid, eg, flaxseed, hemp or fish, it is highly stable due to its powerfully naturally occurring anti-oxidants.

Both Black and white chia seeds are combined to maximise the nutritional benefits of each.

Chia is packed full of the following nutrients.

  • 8 x more Omega-3 EFA’s than salmon
  • 7 x more Vitamin C than oranges
  • 6 x more fibre than oat bran (soluble and insoluble fibre for bowel, cholesterol and blood sugar regulation.
  • 5 x more calcium than milk
  • 4 x higher ORAC value than blueberries
  • 3 x more iron than spinach
  • 2 x more potassium than bananas
  • 15 x more magnesium than broccoli
  • 18 amino acids
  • Vitamin A and B12
  • complete protein (23%)

All adds up to 100% healthy nutrition.
