What are Chia Seeds?

Did you know...

The chia, also known as salvia hispanica or chia sage, is an ancestral plant of the mint, rosemary, basil… family that was used by the Incas, Mayans and Aztecs, and was recently rediscovered in Europe.

It means "strength", a term appropriate for its high nutritional values, rich in omega-3, vitamins, proteins and minerals, providing the energy you need to face everyday life with warrior strength.

Chia Seeds characteristics

Chia seeds are considered one of the best sources of omega-3 acids and fibre in nature, comparable to flax or evening primrose, which explains its popularity in recent years.

Its composition is of great nutritional value, as you can see:

• Protein: 20%.
• Fibre: 25%.
• Lipids: 34%, of which 70% corresponds to unsaturated fatty acids.
• Carbohydrates.

Among its active ingredients, the following stand out:

• Polyunsaturated fatty acids, of the omega 3 class, such as alpha-linolenic acid.
• Mucilage.
• Polyphenols.
• Vitamins A, B and C.
• Mineral salts, especially phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc and copper.

Who should eat Chia Seeds?

Chia seeds are a great food for athletes, given their high concentration of fatty acids (omega 3 and omega 6), protein and minerals. Because of this, high-performance athletes often include chia in their everyday diet, providing them with a powerful natural energy source that gives them just the right amount of fibre.
