Chia Company Chiatah: Black Seeds - 500g
From the same Company that provides Chia to Bakers Delight!
Chia
is an ancient seed that has more omega 3 and dietary fibre than any
other food from nature. It has been left out of the modern diet because
it is very hard to grow, requiring specific climatic conditions. We
were so inspired by this miraculous seed that we have dedicated
ourselves to reviving it – hence The Chia Co. We grow it naturally in
the Kimberley region of Western Australia, exactly 15 degrees from the
equator to produce only the best quality chia! The black and white
seeds have the same nutritional values - it is up to you whether you
like to see it in your food!
- Chia is Nature's Complete Superfood.
- Chia is the highest plant based source of Omega 3, dietary fibre and protein.
- Chia is a great tasting seed that is easy to include in the daily diet for improved health.
- Chia seeds were first used as food as early as 3500 BC and were one of the main dietary components of the Aztecs and the Mayans.
- Chia is gluten free. Gluten is a protein found in grains such as wheat,
rye, barley. Some people cannot tolerate gluten when it comes in
contact with the small intestine in a condition known as coeliac
disease.
What's the difference between black and white seed?
The answer is simple. The 'black' variety of Chia naturally contains a
combination of black, grey and white seeds. The 'white' Chia variety
was formed by specially selecting white seeds from the black variety.
We grow dedicated paddocks of black and white seed. Aside from the
obvious colour difference, the seed itself is virtually the same in all
of its properties - size, taste and smell, with the exception of a few
minor seasonal nutritional differences.
When it comes to incorporating Chia into your daily diet, the sky's the limit!
Chia is a fantastic way to enhance your daily diet with a bonus
nutritious boost. Chia has a pleasant mild nutty taste and can be added
to any food or beverage without altering the original flavour.
We recommend a daily serve of 15 grams which is the equivalent of 1 level tablespoon.
Chia can be sprinkled over salads, cereals and muesli or incorporated into breads, muffins, slices, cookies or porridge.
Why not try Chia as a gel?
When mixed with water (ratio - 1 tablespoon of Chia to 1 cup of
water), Chia seed forms a unique nourishing gel that can be added to
smoothies, juices, breakfast shakes, herbal teas, yogurts, soups, salad
dressing or sauces.
