Chia seeds are harvested from a flowering plant called Salvia hispanica (of the mint family). ‘Chia’ is the ancient Mayan word for strength. Chia seeds are an excellent source of the plant-based omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Diet rich in ALA may help lower high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, as well as reducing the risk of heart diseases. Omega-3 fatty acids are known for their strong anti-inflammatory properties. A typical modern diet has a high proportion of omega-6 to omega 3 that tends to increase inflammation in the body; chia helps balance this with an omega-3 to the omega-6 ratio of 3:1. Omega-3 fatty acids also contribute to healthy brain function.

Chia seeds are a great vegan source of high-quality protein containing all the essential amino acids, which are important for proper growth and maintenance of muscle. They are also a good source of many essential minerals, including calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and iron.

Chia seeds are high in dietary fibre – insoluble fibre helps prevent constipation by increasing stool weight and promoting rapid passage of wastes through the digestive tract; soluble fibre dissolves in the stomach forming a gel-like substance that slows down the digestion and glucose absorption, which help stabilise blood glucose levels, increase the feeling of fullness and thus providing a steady, sustained energy. Increasing dietary fibre intake is likely to reduce the risk of bowel diseases, type 2 diabetes and obesity.
