More about nutrition and health benefits:
- Type of Fat: Chia seeds are rich in polyunsaturated fats, specifically ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid), which is an essential fatty acid your body cannot produce on its own.
- Not Fish Oil: While high in ALA, chia does not contain the active Omega-3s (EPA/DHA) found in fish. The body must convert ALA to EPA/DHA, a process with a low conversion rate.
- Health Benefits: Beyond Omega-3s, they are high in fiber (about 10g per ounce), protein, antioxidants, and minerals like calcium and magnesium.
- Nutrient-Dense: Regular consumption can improve heart health, aid in digestion, and reduce blood pressure.
They are highly recommended as a staple, especially for plant-based diets.
