Chia Seeds | The chia seeds are “super” because, like a superfruit, they deliver the maximum amount of nutrients with minimum calories. They have several of the same benefits as the more well-known “super seed” flax, but unlike flax seed, you don’t need to grind them to reap the health benefits. The nutritional benefits of chia include fiber, omega fatty acids, calcium, antioxidants and much more – even protein!
I love Chia seeds and the importance of them, there are so many added benefits to using them. You can put them on just about everything: omelettes, granola, smoothies, salads, meat and more. American Dietetic Association recommends 20 to 35 grams of fiber each day, and unfortunatley most Americans are only consuming about 12 -15 grams. Chia seeds has 11 grams of fiber per ounce, chia delivers 42% of your recommended daily value of fiber in a single serving.
Chia is known for it's Superfood Skills. There are a few reasons why I love it soo much and have been using it for awhile now!
- Chia absorbs up to 12 times its own weight and expands to curb your appetite
- Chia seeds have more omega-3 fatty acids than salmon!
- It also contains high amounts of omega-6
- And my fav reason why...Chia also contains calcium; in fact, it delivers 18% of your daily value per ounce, which is three times more than skim milk. I am lactose intoerlant so this works for me.
Here is an awesome video on Chia Seeds, be sure to put the music {on my blog} on pause on the right side bar. I love this youtube channel it has a bunch of great videos that I will be sharing.
