Nature's Earthly Choice Organic Chia Seed, 8 OZ (6 Pack) "Expiration 12/02/2021"

Description

[THE SUPERFOOD OF THE AZTECS] Recognized for their superior nutritional value and energizing properties, chia seeds have been a powerful food source for centuries. They were even a dietary staple of the Aztec and Mayan civilizations. Threatened by the arrival of Spanish conquistadors, indigenous cultures kept chia seeds growing throughout the generations in secret. Lucky for us, chia seeds were recently popularized again when they were recognized as a superfood by the health food community.
[AWESOME HEALTH BENEFITS] Chia seeds are inherently rich in nutrients and antioxidants. They are known for their high Omega 3 content, which helps with maintaining a healthy heart. Just one daily dose of chia seeds (roughly 3 tablespoons or 1 oz) contains only 150 calories, 10g of healthy fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 5mg of sodium, 5g of proteins, 11g of fiber, 199mg of calcium. Chia seeds are also a great source of phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, niacin, and zinc.
[BETTER FOR DIGESTION] A member of the mint family, it is no surprise that chia seeds are easy to digest. Don’t worry, unlike similarly nutrient rich seeds such as flaxseed, you don’t need to have chia seeds grounded in order to get the digestible benefits. Chia seeds are rich in both fiber and protein, making your digestive tract happy and healthy!
[EASY TO COOK] From salad dressing to protein shakes to cereal, Chia can be added to daily dishes to give an added nutritional boost without drastically altering the flavor. Got a sweet tooth? Try putting some chia in honey lemon chia muffins, a fruit parfait, or a chocolate chia pudding! Check out our ‘Perfect Smoothie’ recipe below to start off your day right.
[PERFECTLY PROPORTIONED] Coming in a 6 pack of 8 oz chia seeds singles, these perfectly proportioned chia packets are optimal for storage, everyday use, and even to stuff in your bag for on-the-go chia! Not sure you can polish off the chia seed bulk before it goes bad? Don’t worry! Unlike many seeds and nuts, chia seeds can be stored for a long period of time before becoming rancid - up to 2-4 years if stored properly.
