It’s called Original Chia Seed, and it’s available at www.nuchiafoods.com. Chia seeds (salvia Hispanic L) are from the same family as the Chia pet and Oregano. They are the single best source of Omega-3 fatty acids of any commercial available food; even better than flax seeds and salmon. It’s also high in fiber, Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium. Studies show that the Omega-3 fatty acids in Chia play a major part in preventing heart disease in people who don’t have it, and helping the symptoms of those who do. It also lowers blood pressure and cholesterol. Chia changes the glycemic index of the foods it’s added to, so food that raises blood-sugars too high, like white flour and sugar, won’t if combined with Chia. This is especially important for diabetics. It’s also good for weight loss. Chia is really simple to use. You just add a tablespoon or two to anything you are eating or drinking, and that’s it. It’s tasteless and you won’t notice a textural difference either. You can even grind it (or buy it ground) and use it to thicken sauces and gravies. Or preserves and jellies. It looks like a cross between a sesame seed and a poppy seed. There have also been no documented cases of allergies to Chia. Scientists believe, based on the family it belongs to, the possible of having allergy to Chia is extremely unlikely. This company, Nuchia Foods Corporation, has a product that can really help.
