Chia seed was used as food and medicine for thousands of years by the Maya and the Aztecs.The seeds were especially known for their energy boost: If the warriors had to travel long distances they got a handful of Chia seeds with it.
Chia seed has a very high content of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. These essential fatty acids the body cannot make itself and is especially in oily fish. Chia seed is therefore very suitable for vegetarians. In addition, the seeds are packed with vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B8 and vitamin E, as well as the minerals calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, copper, phosphorus and zinc.
Chia seed has a neutral flavor and can therefore easily be processed in all kinds of dishes. Your body can absorb the nutrients the best if you let them weld in water for a while , so that there is a type of gel formed. Sprinkle a tablespoon through your smoothie, fruit juice or breakfast, or drizzle it over your salad.
