Organic chia seeds, Packaging Type : Brown

Like flaxseed, chia seeds form a natural mucilage (a type of soluble fiber) when wet. In cooking, this translates to a good thickener, and therefore chia seeds are a great addition to smoothies, soups, or pasta sauces. Used by Aztec warriors as a source of energy on long marches, chia seeds are high in alpha-linolenic acid and fiber and are a complete source of protein (supplying all essential amino acids).
