What are Chia Seeds?
Chia Seeds are rich in healthy fats and essential amino acids.
According to Harvard Edu Online: “Chia seeds come from the plant Salvia hispanica L., and were at one time a major food crop in Mexico and Guatemala.”
“Two tablespoons of chia seeds (1 ounce or 28 grams) contain about 140 calories, 4 grams of protein, 11 grams of fiber, 7 grams of unsaturated fat, 18% RDA for calcium, and trace minerals including zinc and copper. They are the richest plant source of omega-3 fatty acids. Chia seeds are a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids that cannot be made by the body. ” – Harvard Edu Online
