Why We Love Chia Seeds
Wilderness Poets Organic Chia Seeds are loaded with protein, Omega 3 EFA, iron, magnesium, niacin, zinc, and fiber. * Chia Seeds are renowned for their AMAZING hydrophilic properties. Absorbing 12 times their weight in water, Chia Seeds quench thirst, ease digestion, and are a perfect source of replenishing, rejuvenating energy.Ā
Native to Mexico, chia seeds were highly prized for their medicinal properties and nutritional value. In fact, they were even used as currency. Chia seeds are nutrient-dense and pack a punch of energy-boosting power. Aztec warriors ate chia seeds to give them high energy and endurance. They said just one spoonful of chia could sustain them for 24 hours. Chia means āstrengthā in the Mayan language, and chia seeds were known as ārunnersā foodā because runners and warriors would use them as fuel while running long distances or during battle.
How to Use Chia Seeds:
- Soak them in coconut water or juice for a thirst quenching, refreshing boost.
- Add to pancakes, cookies, porridge, smoothies, raw foods, veggie burgers, and raw desserts.
- Make a Coconut Chia tapioca-like 'pudding'. Soak chia seeds in water to make a gel and combine it with coconut milk, vanilla powder and honey. Wow. You can also use nut milk instead of coconut milk.
- When adding chia to a smoothie, it is best not to blend the chia seeds. Rather, make a gel with chia seeds in water and then add the Chia Gel to your smoothie. You can keep the Chia Gel in your refrigerator for up to a week and it is ready to use at any moment.
