Chia! Chia! Chia! Organic superfood from Nutiva

chiaIf you are like me, you can’t help but sing the “Ch, ch, ch, chia” jingle when you eat your daily chia seeds. Who knew these little black seeds that grew on funny terra cotta figures was actually a superfood?

I love chia seeds!  I love the way they make me feel. I love how they help me maintain a consistent weight, how they help me stay hydrated, and I love their flavor. From chia seed pudding to Thanksgiving cranberry sauce, you will find chia in at least one meal of mine a day.

We were sent [amazon_link id=”B00AQFGL3O” target=”_blank” ]Nutiva Organic Chia Black Seeds [/amazon_link].  Of course, we love them!

A traditional South American crop, chia seed (Latin name Salvia hispanica L.) has been used for thousands of years. In fact, archeological evidence indicates that humans have been using chia as early as 3500 BCE!

Making a comeback in healthy diets, these super seeds are an excellent source of essential minerals such as phosphorous, manganese, calcium, sodium and potassium. In fact, to provide a comparison, 3 tbsp. of chia has:

  • 15x more magnesium than broccoli
  • 6x more calcium than whole milk
  • 30% more antioxidants than blueberries
  • 2x more potassium than bananas

We aren’t kidding when we say these tiny seeds pack a mighty punch!

Our organic chia seeds can be easily incorporated into your diet. Use them on yogurt and oatmeal, in smoothies, added to sauces as a thickener, or even used in baked goods as a replacement for egg.

OUR CHIA PRODUCTS ARE:
Certified organic and non-GMO
Unrefined
Never hexane-processed
Vegan
Raw
Gluten-free

Wow! That is a superfood.

Just like any other Nutiva product we have tried, these are high quality, organic chia seed.

Chia seeds are super easy to add to your family’s diet. I toss them into salads, smoothies, yogurt with granola, hot cereals, and baked goods.  There really is no limit to what you can do with chia seeds. It’s amazing these little black seeds pack such a nutritional punch!
