CHIA SEEDS(Salvia hispanica) is a plant that grows in South America and belongs to the same family as mint and lemon balm. Its seeds are small and black. They were eaten by the Aztecs for centuries. The famous Codex Mendocino, which describes the daily life of the Aztecs, lists Chia seeds as the most important crop next to maize.
Chia seeds provide many valuable nutritional values. Alpha linolenic acid, fibre and a high content of omega-3 fatty acids can help maintain weight, get rid of excess fat, keep our skin, bones and heart in good condition. Chia seeds contain many valuable nutritional properties that can significantly affect the functioning of our body. Just two tablespoons of chia seeds provide:
11 GRAMS OF FIBRE
9 GRAMS OF FAT (INCLUDING 5 GRAMS OF OMEGA3 FATTY ACIDS)
18% OF THE RECOMMENDED DAILY INTAKE OF CALCIUM
30% OF THE RECOMMENDED DAILY INTAKE OF MANGANESE
30% OF THE RECOMMENDED DAILY INTAKE OF MAGNESIUM
27% OF THE RECOMMENDED DAILY INTAKE OF PHOSPHORUS
Two tablespoons of chia seeds are approximately 30g and 115 kcal. In a relatively small amount of calories we are providing a great deal of nutrients. Chia seeds are rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and protein. All of these ingredients are essential for healthy bones. They can be considered an excellent source of calcium for people who do not eat dairy. Chia seeds are rich in fibre. They can therefore aid weight loss. However, remember to introduce them gradually into your diet and do not consume more than 20-40g of chia seeds per day. Too much fibre can lead to diarrhoea or constipation.
Chia seeds also contain protein, about 4-5g in two tablespoons. Chia seeds, like flaxseeds, are rich in omega 3 fatty acids. However, it should be remembered that they also provide a large amount of omega 6 fatty acids. The omega 3 acids contained in chia seeds are mainly ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). Chia seeds themselves do not have a distinct taste. This makes it easy to include them in your diet. They can be added to salads, smoothies or muesli. Due to their ability to absorb water and fat, they can be used to thicken sauces.
