Benefits of Chia Seeds
High In Omega-3 Acids. Chia seed has higher levels of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) than flax seed. In fact, chia seeds have the highest known whole-food source levels of Omega-3 acids, as measured by percent of weight. Rich In Antioxidants. Chia is a great natural source of antioxidants, including chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, myricetin, quercetin and flavonols. Full of Important Nutrients. Chia is an excellent source of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc and copper. Chia contains six times more iron than spinach. Low In Sodium and Cholesterol-Free. Chia contains less than half the sodium of flax seed, per serving. This is important to those with high blood pressure. As a plant-based source of Omega-3, chia seed is cholesterol-free. Promotes Hydration. Chia soaks up water and this promotes hydration and electrolytes retention. Helps in Weight Loss. Chia is very filling. As more Chia is eaten, there's less room for fattening foods. Good Source of Fiber. Chia is about 40 percent fiber. A daily serving of chia seeds contains about 11 grams of fiber. About five percent of this fiber is soluble, which can help reduce cholesterol. Builds Endurance. The Mayan word for Chia is strength. Chia builds stamina and endurance because it steadily releases slow-burning glucose into the bloodstream. Gluten-Free. The protein in chia seed is gluten free. Chia seeds are also nonallergenic. Provides All Essential Amino Acids. Chia provides all eight essential amino acids. Since essential amino acids are not produced by the body, it's important to get amino acids from nutrient-rich sources like chia seeds. The amino acid leucine is abundant in chia seeds. Research suggests leucine may help regulate blood sugar levels and aid in muscle recovery after exercise. Stays Fresh. Unlike flax seed, chia seed stays fresh for extended periods of time. Chia seeds stay fresh for 24-36 months when stored in proper conditions (cool and dry)

How to use Chia Seeds,
By
This review is from: Chia Seeds 2 Pounds (Health and Beauty)
To get the most out of Chia, make Chia Gel. It's one part Chia Seeds to 9 parts water. I make it in a Mason jar (shake or stir until the seeds begin to suspend in the gel) and keep it in the refrigerator. It creates a thick gel that you can add to most anything and it doesn't change the flavor. There's lots of info on the Web. Have a look! Chia seeds are phenomenal.

Chia for me.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chia Seeds 2 Pounds (Health and Beauty)
This is my first experience with Chia. I bought the book and read the nutritional value of the product. I have been using it for a month. It really cleanses the digestive system. It takes getting used to at first, as it has the texture of Okra. It has no flavor to speak of, so I use it twice daily and have sprinkled it on cereal, salads and mixed it half and half with jam. With Jam, used when it is mixed with water. I mix up a 1/2 cup of Chia with 9 equal parts of water and put it in the refrigerator to have available to use. I have a cup of green tea and put approx. 1/4 cup in the tea.

OUTSTANDING,
This review is from: Chia Seeds 2 Pounds (Health and Beauty)
This is a great thing to have. If you don't know, you should educate yourself of the power of chia seeds. They have a long history of being used by warriors and runners throughout the ages.
I personally have these for breakfast and feel energized well past 3 in the afternoon when i have my lunch. In fact i just ordered a 5 pound bag from the same seller, i strongly recommend it.
