Salvia hispanica, also known as Chia (pronounced chee’ah), is a rich and unprocessed, whole food source of pure Omega³. A member of the mint family, Chia is native to Central America and has been used traditionally for over 3000 years.

Due to its high fiber content (more than 35%) Chia seed has the remarkable ability to absorb ten times its weight in water, making it an excellent source of hydration. Chia’s fiber forms a gel that slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, binds it to toxins in the digestive system, and helps eliminate waste.

Chia is especially rich in essential fatty acids. One 15gm serving provides more than 3gm of Omega³ (as alpha-linolenic acid) and 1gm of Omega⁶ (linoleic acid) in a perfectly balanced 3:1 ratio, making it the richest, unprocessed and fully-digestible whole food source of Omega³.

Because they are loaded with high-ORAC antioxidants like quercetin, caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid, Chia seeds maintain a 99% sprout rate and have a shelf life of up to five years. Furthermore, Chia seeds are rich in calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc; many trace minerals and biologically complete protein, making them the perfect survival food.

This gives anyone good reason to include this into their diet but I imagine you’re thinking “How?” Below is a recipe for an awesome breakfast you can get started with right now so you are enjoying this tomorrow morning. This recipe goes great with this free 5 day cleanse
