Organic Sprouted Chia Meal - Chia seeds are heralded by many as a superfood. It is a complete protein source, which means it contains all the essential amino acids, and it is in almost perfect ratio to the needs of the human body, second only to hemp seeds. It also contains all essential fatty acids, and is one of the best sources of Omega 3! Chia is nutritionally superior to flax seeds in all aspects and doesn't have to be ground to be digested well. Chia supplies the body with energy, and the Aztecs traditionally ate it when going on long trips to sustain them, which is why chia was given the name, "Indian Running Seed". Chia is also an excellent source of iron, calcium, antioxidants, magnesium, and many other beneficial nutrients. Chia will absorb stomach acid, and is very beneficial in cases of acid reflux. It is also a great weight loss assistant from its high fiber content. Chia also digests slowly, so it helps to curb the appetite and keep you feeling full longer. It absorbs water and can be used as a fat replacer or egg replacer in any recipe (1 tbsp. of chia seeds to 8 ounces of water will make chia gel; see recipes section for more info). Some studies have shown chia consumption can help to reduce sugars in the blood in diabetics. Whether you eat it as a breakfast cereal, blend it with juice, or incorporate it into baking recipes, chia is highly nutritious and easy to use. A little goes a long way!
