CHIA SEED - Omega-3, Antioxidants & Fiber

(versión en ESPAÑOL)

Chia seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and fiber. The small generally grayish seeds can be mixed in water or juice to make a refreshing beverage, sprinkled on cereal or salads, or can be ground and mixed with flour and baked. The nut like flavor is very pleasing.

Chia seed is similar to flaxseed, but does not posses any of the antinutritional compounds found in flax.
