Organic Traditions brings you premium quality Dark Chia Seeds, certified organic, kosher and vegan. It is said that Aztec warriors would consume a mixture of Chia and water during hunting trips to ensure endurance and stamina. These gluten free seeds are a fast and simple way to enhance your daily diet with an extra boost of much needed nutrition. A source of Calcium and Iron as well as Fibre and Omega 3 essential fatty acids. A mild, nutty seed, Chia also contains protein as well as essential vitamins and minerals. Chia seeds can be used in the same way you would use flax seeds. Be sure to drink adequate water. Chia’s neutral taste will nutritionally enhance all meals without altering the original flavour.
Serving suggestions: Add 1-2 tablespoons of Chia to smoothies, desserts, yoghurt, berries or on top of salads. Make puddings, sauces and dressings. Chia remains stable even when incorporated into soups, oatmeal and baked goods. Use as a flour substitute or as a natural thickening agent. Vegetarians can even use it as an egg replacement by creating a gel. Simply combine 2 tablespoons of Chia to 1 cup of cold water. A ½ cup of gel replaces roughly one egg. Create a delicious smoothie by blending 1-2 tablespoons of Chia Seeds, 1-2 tablespoons of Organic Traditions Black Mulberries, 1-2 tablespoons of Organic Traditions Goji Berries, 1-3 teaspoons of Organic Traditions Raw Coconut Oil and any other Organic Traditions products with sufficient water (750 ml to 1.5 l) to achieve the desired consistency.
