What is Chia Powder?
Chia was eaten by Aztecs for strength and was a main staple food along with corn and beans. This bag contains 100% pure chia powder that is certified organic, kosher, vegan, gluten-free, sprouted and raw.
Sprouting the Chia seeds greatly increases the nutrient and antioxidant levels in Chia. This process of germination maximizes the body's ability to digest and absorb the nutritional benefits. Chia is an excellent vegetarian source of omega fatty acids and dietary fiber. It also contains notable quantities of calcium, iron, potassium and protein.
The mission of Navitas Naturals is to provide premium organic superfoods that increase energy and enhance health. Our products are of the highest quality, sourced directly from farmers, cultivated sustainably and in accordance with fair trade practices.
Navitas Naturals Chia Powder has a mild nutty flavor, and develops slightly sweet notes when sprouted. It may be used much like flax powder in creating a power breakfast: just sprinkle a spoonful into oatmeal, granola, cereal, or yogurt. It also works very well as a flour substitute and can be used to make hearty breads, crackers, and more. Additionally, chia is considered highly hydrophilic – meaning the seeds have a unique ability to absorb liquid and form a gel. This makes chia especially good to use as a thickening agent in recipes like soup, smoothies, or enjoyed as a pudding with a touch of sweetener.
Chia is so high in essential fatty acids that it contains eight times more omega-3s than salmon, gram for gram. Also full of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals (especially calcium and iron), chia has much in common with flaxseed, with the distinct advantage that its natural antioxidants make it’s delicate healthy fats more nutritionally stable.Research has linked this valuable food as a being beneficial for many health issues, including diabetes, hypoglycemia, celiac disease, and lowering cholesterol.
Suggested Use:
Use in Oatmeal, Granola, Smoothies, Bread or as Flour Substitutes.
