- Carb CHIA trial pack 250g
Chia, the miraculous from South America
With the seeds of the CHIA plant from Mexico, the word messenger takes on a whole new meaning. Chia was used by the Maya in Mexico more than 1000 years ago as food for the messengers on the march. And with good reason: Chia means “strength” in the Mayan language. That doesn't mean that it contains a lot of carbohydrates. On the contrary: Chia is rich in proteins and particularly good fats. Chia is the only plant we know of that contains 18 g omega 3 fatty acids per 100 g. In addition, chia is particularly high in fiber and full of vitamins and minerals: more calcium than milk, more potassium than bananas and three times more iron than spinach. Chia is also world champion in terms of antioxidants. That's why it doesn't go bad even after many years of storage (our best-before date is 2 years according to EU standards).
Chia is rather tasteless, but the effect is amazing: it restores energy immediately and after just 2 spoons dissolved in liquid, everyone reported that any hunger was gone for hours.
Our chia seeds come from Paraguay and Bolivia and were bought by our supplier from small farmers with fair prices.
According to the EU Novel Food approval, the recommended consumption of chia seeds per day is 15 grams.
Our Chia has been tested in a renowned accredited laboratory and is guaranteed free of pesticides and mineral oils.
