CHIA SEED, BLACK - Kosher/Naturally Gluten Free

CHIABL-5

Description:

Most of us are familiar with the little "Chia Pets" but lesser-known are the nutritious seeds used to grow them. This high energy endurance food contains the highest plant source of Omega-3 on the planet!  High in calcium, magnesium, and iron and loaded with more antioxidants than blueberries, this tiny seed supports healthy heart function, joint mobility, immune functioning, and cellular energy.  Chia Seeds are tiny, about the size of a poppy seed with a slightly nutty flavor.  What makes them amazing is their ability to absorb over ten times their weight in fluid which makes them perfect for weight loss, hydration, and for stabilizing the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream. This makes them an ideal choice for Diabetics and those looking for Gluten-Free options.  Mix Chia Seeds with your favorite juice or with agua fresca for a refreshing and nutritious drink.  Great in smoothies, on cereal, in pudding or it can be sprinkled onto salads, yogurt, or granola.

Ingredient Statement:
