Chia seeds - Natural 500g

Product detailed description

Chia seeds have always been a staple of the diet in the southwestern part of present-day Mexico. They are called runners' food because the Aztecs consumed this high-energy food during their expeditions, and one teaspoon of seeds was enough for them to march for 24 hours without getting tired. After soaking the seeds in water, a gel forms around them, which slows down the conversion of polysaccharides to monosaccharides in the stomach, thereby stabilizing blood sugar fluctuations. Thanks to their ability to retain fluids, they also prolong the hydration of cells in the body.

Chia seeds contain 3 times more omega fatty acids than cereals and are rich in linoleic acid, which the body is unable to synthesize. The seeds support normal digestion, absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and ward off feelings of hunger, thirst, and fatigue. They are suitable for gluten-free and diabetic diets and can be consumed either directly or soaked in liquid, or added to cooked and baked dishes.
