Nutritional Benefits:

Organic chia seeds are packed with essential nutrients:

• Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Chia seeds are one of the richest plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids, with about 17.8g of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) per 100g (USDA FoodData Central). ALA contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels (Regulation 432/2012). The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 2g of ALA, which is about 11g of chia seeds.
• Fiber: Chia seeds contain 34.4g of dietary fibre per 100g (USDA FoodData Central).
• Protein: Chia seeds contain a good amount of plant-based protein, making them an excellent addition to vegetarian and vegan diets.
• Calcium and Magnesium: Chia seeds contain 631mg of calcium and 335mg of magnesium per 100g (USDA FoodData Central). Calcium contributes to normal blood clotting and to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue (Regulation 432/2012).
