CHIA SEED
WHAT is it?
CHIA is a very small seed, native to Mexico, that contains the highest known natural source of Omega 3 and is rich in Dietary
Fiber, Calcium, Protein, Iron and some Antioxidants.
In Mexico, it is well known to have it with lemonade. If we only knew how nutritious it is to drink water or flavored water with some chia seeds, we would consider to include them in our daily food intake as a food complement.

USes
Chia seeds do not require washing or grinding. It can be consumed in the amount any person like. It can be added to lemonades, salads, yoghurt, fruit cocktails, bakery, and desserts.
It has no odor, does not add color, and has a smooth and friendly taste.
OMEGA 3: These are essential fatty acids that contribute in diverse vital processes in our body and not just provide energy or calories. Their main functions are:
~ Act as an energy reserve
~ Contribute in cell membrane formation
~ Improve blood pressure
~ Reduce negative impact of Omega 6 excess

An inspiring and well written article. I particularly like your ideas for increasing the amount of omega 3 in the diet. I’ve read that pumpkin seeds are also a good source of omega-3.

Not sold at WF–but Smart Balance peanut butter is fortified with Omega-3s and has flax oil in it, and it tastes great. I haven’t tried their other products (butter, etc.), but I would guess that they’re also fortified.

Thanks for the informative article!

@John – I use a tablespoon of FiProFLAX in my smoothies. You can find it in most WF stores. It is a cold milled organic ground flax seed. Just make sure you keep it refrigerated after opening.
