Chia seeds - an ancient superfood for daily refreshment

Chia (Salvia hispanica) is a plant native to Central America whose seeds were valued as a source of strength and endurance by the Mayans and Aztecs. These small seeds are rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, protein (20%), fibre, vitamins (A, B1, B2, B3) and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc and iron. Chia quickly turns into a gel on contact with liquid, supporting digestion and blood sugar balance. It does not require grinding and is ideal for enriching smoothies, puddings, salads and desserts. It has a slightly nutty taste and helps to keep energy levels stable throughout the day.
