Chia is a herbaceous plant native to Central America.

To date, it is one of the known plant species with the highest concentration of alpha-linylene fatty acid, omega 3.

Chia seed contains excellent nutritional properties, such as protein, calcium, boron, potassium, iron, fatty acids and antioxidants. Likewise, trace elements such as magnesium, copper, zinc, and vitamins such as niacin, among others.

Its protein percentage is twice that of any other seed. It contains five times more calcium than whole milk, twice as much potassium as bananas, three times more antioxidants than blueberries, three times more iron than spinach and 7 times more Omega 3 than salmon.
Hydrated Chia seeds in water, they release a tasteless gelatinous liquid, which, drunk together with the seeds, nourishes and maintains the feeling of satiety for hours and promotes intestinal regularity. Adding flour or hydrated Chia seeds to food helps prevent blood sugar fluctuations, as well as premature aging.

Its applications in the food industry are innumerable and of great benefit to health. Chia provides important nutritional supplements to the diet in general and especially to the most vulnerable. Flours and oils are highly requested as a food support.
