Chia seeds, small in size but big on benefits, are attracting growing interest in the field of nutrition and health. Native to Mexico and a member of the sage family, this small seed has become a staple in many healthy diets. Renowned for their richness in essential nutrients such as omega-3, fiber and protein, chia seeds offer a multitude of health benefits.
It has been shown that 15g of Chia root contains around 3750 mg of omega-3 and 1050 mg of omega-6. See the Omega-3 and Omega-6 factsheets to find out more about their respective properties.
Chia also contains around 20% protein and is a good source of vitamin B9, calcium and antioxidants in the form of polyphenols.
