Description
Organic black chia seeds (the seeds of the Salvia hispanica plant) have been cultivated as a food source for thousands of years in Meso- and South America, at least since the time of the Mayan and Aztec empires. In fact, the word chia is a corruption of the Mayan word for strength and gives a good indication of why it was so valued. Chia seeds have a known ability to form a gel when soaked in water or other liquid. The outer shell of chia seeds is covered in microscopic hair-like fibers. These fibers attract and trap water, forming a loose gel with up to nine times the original volume of chia seeds. Its unique ability to become gelatinous when soaked in liquid aids digestion and slows nutrient absorption while also creating a new way to create texture in recipes. Chia seed is one of the best plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids and is naturally gluten-free, high in calcium and loaded with fiber.
