Chia, or seeds (Salvia hispanica), is a plant from South America, belonging to the same family as mint and lemon balm. Its small, black seeds were consumed for centuries by the Aztecs, which is confirmed by the famous Codex Mendocino describing their daily life and identifying Chia seeds, along with corn, as a key crop.
Chia seeds are a rich source of valuable nutrients. Alpha-linolenic acid, fiber and a high content of omega-3 acids contribute to maintaining a healthy weight, eliminating excess fat, and support the health of the skin, bones and heart. These small grains are full of nutritional values that have a significant impact on the functioning of the body. Just two tablespoons of chia seeds provide:
11 grams of fiber,
9 grams of fat (including 5 grams of omega-3 fatty acids),
18% of the recommended daily intake of calcium,
30% of the recommended daily intake of manganese,
30% of the recommended daily intake of magnesium,
27% of the recommended daily intake of phosphorus.
It is not only a tasty addition to dishes, but also a rich source of ingredients that support a healthy diet and well-being.
