Chia seeds

This fabulous seed is very high in dietary fibre, is a good source of protein, contains healthy omega 3 fatty acids, and is a good source of calcium and phosphorus. It is a great regular addition to your diet for cleansing the intestinal tract because of the high amount of dietary fibre.

Allowing the seed to sit in liquid for at least 20 minutes before eating will increase the health benefits of this wonderful natural super food.
