Raw food Chia seeds

The Aztecs used to appreciate their invigorating effects!
From Mexico.
The chia is a plant which originates from Mexico and used to be cultivated by the Aztecs between the 14th and 16th centuries. Today chia seeds are grown commercially in many countries of South America, unlike ours which come from small, sustainably managed fields where they are harvested by hand by the rural population. As long ago as the time of the Aztecs, chia seeds were valued as a basic foodstuff and a great supplier of energy. Chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids in perfect balance with omega-6 fatty acids. They promote digestion and are good for satisfying hunger because they supply the body with lasting energy. Chia seeds contain high-grade proteins, vitamins, antioxidants and minerals.

Recommended intake: 2 tablespoons of chia seeds in salads, soups, dips or smoothies for adults per day. The seeds are also ideal in the form of chia-almond milk or for “baking” crackers. Chia seeds can also be used in all raw food recipes as a substitute for nuts. Give it a try!

Legal note: The European Food Safety Authority gave approval in November 2009 for chia seeds to be used in bread products subject to a maximum content of 5% (Official Journal of the EU No. L 294 dated 11 November 2009, pp 12 and 14). According to a statement by the EFSA*, the use of chia seeds and ground chia seeds in bread products is unlikely to be harmful to health.
