Chia seeds are every dieter, fitness fanatic and health-conscious person’s dream. Chia forms a coating of gel when it is exposed to water, increasing in size and weight. So when hunger is the enemy, this seed makes you feel full without eating the additional calories.
The gel coating of the Chia seed has a unique combination of soluble and insoluble fibre that help keep balanced levels of blood sugar, important for both your health and energy. Blood sugar levels can spike after a meal which can lead to fatigue. By adding Chia, you will maintain constant energy throughout the day.
Chia seeds are also the solution for many vegetarians and vegans looking to add omega-3 to their diet. It is a rich plant-source that contains more omega-3 than salmon! The best part about Chia is that it takes on the flavour of any food or ingredient it’s paired with so it doesn’t alter the taste of your favourite dishes.
With the added benefit of dietary fibre and protein, Chia is the miracle seed that can be added to every recipe. Just try our new bread varieties – Organic Spelt Chia & Poppy Seed and Organic Ezekiel Chia & Sunflower Seed – we know you’ll just love them! Now available at Loblaws, Longo’s, Whole Foods Market, and independent grocers in the GTA.
