Chia seeds

[Guest guest]

HI,

I just discovered info about chia seeds, which I hadn't heard of before. What do

you know about these seeds, a source of omega-3 PUFA. Here's some info:

For centuries the Indian tribes in the Southwest used this tiny seed as a staple

food. Today, chai seeds show great promise in helping to provide nutritional

balance to the 21st century diet. Chai seeds contain high amounts of Omega 3

essential fatty acids. Also, chai is very high in soluble fiber. Add 1/3 cup of

chai seed to 2 cups of water and let sit. Chai seeds will form a gel that is an

excellent addition to salad dressings, dips, spreads, soups, etc. This gel will

slow carbohydrate digestion, thus providing you with steady energy.
