Chi chi chi chia!
Looking for a nutrient rich and healthy snack to eat on the go? Chia seeds are a great way to get some essential nutrients quickly. Chia Seeds, also called Salvia hispanica, are known as a nutritious food source with health benefits. The seed contains good sources of omega-3’s, phosphorus, manganese, calcium, potassium and sodium. That’s a lot of power packed nutrients you can sprinkle on just about anything! Unlike flaxseed, chia seeds can be stored for long periods without becoming rancid and don’t require grinding. Whole flaxseed is tough to digest and simply doesn’t agree with everyone. Give chia a try!
