Organic chia, also known as Spanish sage, is a herbaceous plant species that flowers in summer, much appreciated for its seeds, which are an interesting addition to the diet. Spanish sage, the plant from which its prized seeds are obtained, is grown in the regions of Mexico and Guatemala. The fruit that produces the sage in the crevice contains seeds. They have three kinds of colors, grey, white and black.
Spanish sage seeds are called chia seeds. Sage was one of the main components of the Aztec diet. Now it is very popular among travelers because it is a light, but very nutritious product. It is increasingly becoming an ingredient in healthy desserts, porridge, fruit, cakes and breads.
You can add whole or ground seeds to granola, yogurt, salads, and baked goods. They can also be soaked in water or juice and used as a natural thickener, for example in soups.
After being doused with liquid, they begin to swell and, after a few hours of rest, form a characteristic pudding. Such a meal provides a quick feeling of satiety that lasts for a long time. However, it is worth monitoring the amount consumed during the day, mainly due to the high fiber content, since too much intake leads to poorer absorption of minerals and can even lead to excessive bowel movements.
Chia seeds contain up to 35% fat, mostly polyunsaturated fats. The fatty acids it contains are alpha-linolenic, palmitic, linoleic and oleic acid. Thanks to them, they have a positive effect on memory and concentration. Another 25% of the composition consists of proteins. They are not gluten proteins, so these seeds can be eaten by people who have had to eliminate gluten from their diet. They contain such amino acids as arginine, glutamic acid and aspartic acid. For this reason, they can positively influence the improvement of immunity. They also contain a high fiber content of about 26 grams per 100 grams of product, which speeds up the metabolism. They also contain tocopherols, i.e. vitamin E, which has an antioxidant effect, i.e. it fights free radicals in our body. As a result, it increases our immunity. The minerals include potassium, phosphorus, calcium, zinc, iron, copper and manganese. Thanks to all these minerals, chia is a great addition to our diet, which affects calcium supplementation in the bones, improves sleep quality and concentration, and has a positive effect on the work of our muscles.

INTERESTS

In 100 grams, it contains more calcium (up to 631 mg) than milk and more omega-3 fatty acids than Atlantic salmon. They are also an ideal alternative to protein supplements for vegetarians and vegans.
PREPARATION of the pudding: Add about 8 tablespoons of water to one tablespoon of chia. Mix the seeds with water (or other liquid) several times during the first 30 minutes to loosen them. Then let it rest for at least an hour, after which time the seeds will spread evenly in the liquid and form their characteristic pudding.
