About this deal
The study also found that when substituting chia seeds for other fat sources, such as corn oil, the ALA was able to prevent high triglyceride levels and reduce central obesity. Cultivation of our chia seeds has been developed for hundreds of years as techniques have been passed down through generations.
High in fibre, Omega 3, calcium, iron, phosphorus and magnesium, Chia Seeds are still a beneficial addition to any diet and a leading modern day “superfood”.These nutrient quantities are considered adequate to meet your daily Calorie, Omega, Fibre and Protein recommended intake when consumed as part of a balanced and varied diet.
Unlike other grain crops such as rice, oats, wheat and corn, chia seeds are relatively low in carbohydrates ? Chia (Salvia hispanica) traditionally formed a core part of the ancient Aztecs and Mayans diet in Central America thousands of years ago. While every care is taken to ensure that our product information is correct, food products and recipes are constantly being reformulated meaning that ingredients, allergens, dietary and nutritional content may change from time to time.
Chia seed is one of the highest natural sources of Omega 3 and Dietary Fibre and also contains 24g of Protein per 100g which contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass and normal healthy bones. However, a pig’s digestive system is similar to a human’s, and these microbes are used in similar experiments around the world, according to James Cowley, PhD, a co-author of the study and a food product development fellow at the University of Adelaide in Australia. A study published in the "British Journal of Nutrition" showed that chia seeds as a dietary fat source can lower triglycerides and cholesterol levels while increasing HDL or "good" cholesterol. They provide an excellent non-animal source of protein and are thought to help regulate appetite, sleep and improve mood. I would have never thought by introducing chia seeds into my weetabix it would solve a issue I have had since I was very small.
