"Chia seeds are powerful because they provide maximum nutrition with very little calories," said Wayne Xu, Vice President, Everyday Vitamin Nutrition LLC. "They live up to their name as a superfood."

Chia seeds are edible seeds that come from the desert plant Salvia hispanica, which are cultivated in tropical parts of the U.S., Mexico, and some areas of Argentina. Chia seeds were first used by the Mayan and Aztec cultures to boost energy because of their high concentration of healthy omega-3 fatty acids, carbohydrates, protein, fiber, antioxidants, and calcium.

Their high concentration of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, fiber, antioxidants and calcium makes chia seeds a great addition to a daily diet. In addition to providing necessary nutrition and minerals like phosphorus and calcium, chia seeds may help curb unhealthy appetite. Here are the reasons to start eating chia seeds:

• FIBER: Chia seeds contain 11 grams of fiber per ounce and provide 42% of your recommended daily value (20 to 35 grams of fiber per day according to the American Diabetic Association) of fiber in a single serving. Chia seeds also contain 5% soluble fiber and 36% insoluble fiber. Fiber is crucial for maintaining a healthy gut, and regulating normal bowel movements.
• OMEGA-3s: Chia seeds contain 30% to 35% of seed oil, of which approximately two-thirds is Omega-3 fatty acids. In fact, chia seed oil contain about 64% of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is an essential omega-3 fatty acid, and the precursor to the longer-chain fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). It also contains 20% of omega-6 fatty acids. This amount is higher than ALA concentrations in flax seed (55%) and fruits such as kiwi, and black raspberries. Chia seeds also contain more omega-3s than fish oils in salmon, and tuna. Chia seeds are also a non-toxic, alternative to the unhealthy and toxic mercury found in wild fish. The omega-3s found in chia seeds can help high cholesterol, inflammation, and enhance cognitive performance.
• ANTIOXIDANTS: Chia seeds have a very high Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC), which measures total antioxidant capacity. Foods with ORAC levels are shown to protect the body against free radical damage, prevent memory loss, maintain healthy brain function, and keeping a youthful, vibrant appearance, among other benefits.
• CALCIUM: Chia seeds contain five times more calcium than milk. Chia seeds deliver 18% of your daily value per ounce. This can help stave off osteoporosis in women.
• PROTEIN: Chia seeds are a complete source of dietary protein as they contain all of the essential amino acids. Chia seeds contain more than 4 grams of protein per ounce.
• DIGESTIBLE: Chia seeds are easier to digest than flax seeds, which make them a perfect choice to eat as a raw food.
• SATIETY: Chia seeds are said to swell to 12 times its weight. When mixed with liquid and consumed, they form a gel in the stomach. In addition to that, their protein, fiber and carbohydrate content contribute to their appetite curbing effect.

As chia seeds have a mild, nutty flavor and are tiny in size, they can be a great addition to foods and beverages like cereal, sauces, salads, rice and vegetable dishes, smoothie drinks, baked goods, or sprinkled on any desserts, without adding a noticeable change in flavor.

Nutiva's Organic Chia Seeds pack five grams of fiber, three grams of protein, and two and a half grams of Omega-3 per serving. Because of its high content of calcium and protein, chia seeds are a great alternative for individuals on a vegan diet. A bag of Nutiva's Organic Chia seeds contain 12 ounces of seeds, and one tablespoon is equivalent to one serving.
