BIO CHIA SEEDS 1 Kg

Chia seeds are small dark seeds from a plant called Salvia Hispanica and are known to be rich in minerals, vitamins and fatty acids. Chia seeds have been known and used for millennia especially in Central and South America where they are still a staple of nutrition for the populations of these areas today. The chia seeds offered by Oltresole in its organic oilseeds line are produced from controlled BIO crops. These seeds are a widely used ingredient in natural cooking for their versatility, organoleptic qualities and beneficial properties. These small dark seeds fall into the category of oil seeds and have a number of properties that make them a real superfood. Therefore also useful in low-calorie diets, their consumption promotes the sense of satiety, reduces the absorption of fats and helps regulate blood sugar levels. PAIRING: Chia seeds represent a fundamental ingredient for natural cooking useful both for enriching savory or sweet preparations. These seeds can be added to muesli or used as a garnish for salads and soups. They are also excellent in the preparation of baked goods such as breadsticks and savory pies. However, they can also be taken raw: about 1 tablespoon a day with a glass of water as a natural supplement; or as an infusion after light roasting. In contact with liquids these seeds take on a gelatinous consistency and it is this characteristic that makes them a very versatile ingredient that can be incorporated into different recipes or simply in smoothies and energy drinks. WELLNESS AND HEALTH: Chia seeds contain essential fatty acids such as omega 3 (8 times the amount contained in salmon). In each seed there are all the essential amino acids for the proper functioning of the body and for supporting the main vital functions. Chia seeds are a natural source of energy: this makes them excellent allies for well-being, especially for athletes who need to increase lean mass. They are also useful for hypoglycemic diets thanks to their low sugar content. FUN FACT: Chia seeds have been known for millennia and are mainly used in Central and South America where they are still an important food base today. Already in ancient times these seeds were one of the basic elements of Aztec and Mayan cuisine since it was thought that from their consumption the warriors could draw the necessary strength to face battles. In fact, the word "chia" in Aztec means "strength".
