Organic Black Chia Seeds

AN ANCIENT NATIVE AMERICAN FOOD

Chia seeds were prized by the Incas and Aztecs, believed to increase strength and endurance. They are high in calcium and both soluble and insoluble fibre. One of the highest plant-based sources of protein and omega 3 oil. Best soaked before being eaten or added to recipes.

HOW TO USE

> Wonderful in baking, raw treats, crackers, bread and fresh juice or smoothies.
