Organic Chia, also known as Spanish sage, is a species of herbaceous plant that thrives in summer, highly valued for its seeds, which are an interesting addition to the diet. Spanish sage, the plant from which its precious seeds are obtained, is grown in the regions of Mexico and Guatemala. In the fruit that the sage produces, the seeds contain seeds. They have three types of colors, they are available in gray, white and black.
Sage seeds are called chia seeds. Sage was one of the basic ingredients of the Aztec diet. Now it is very popular with travelers because it is a light, but very nutritious product. Increasingly, it also becomes an ingredient in healthy desserts, porridge, fruit, cakes and as an addition to bread.
You can add whole or ground seeds to muesli, yogurt, salads and baked goods. They can also be soaked in water or juice and used as a natural thickener, e.g. for soups.
After pouring them with liquid they begin to swell and after leaving them for a few hours they create a characteristic pudding. Such a meal gives a quick feeling of satiety that stays for a long time. However, it is worth controlling the amount consumed during the day mainly due to the high content of fiber, if its supply is too high, it will result in poorer absorption of minerals, and may even lead to excessive bowel movement.
Chia seeds contain up to 35% fat in their composition, mainly polyunsaturated fats. The fatty acids we find in it are alpha-linolenic, palmitic, linoleic and oleic acid. Thanks to them, they positively affect memory and concentration. Another 25% in the composition are proteins. They are not gluten proteins, therefore those seeds may be consumed by people who had to exclude gluten from the diet. They contain such amino acids as arginine, glutamic and aspartic acid. For this reason, they can have a positive effect on improving immunity. In addition, they contain dietary fiber in high content, it is about 26 grams per 100 grams of product that speeds up metabolism. They also contain tocopherols, i.e. vitamin E, which has an antioxidant effect, i.e. it fights free radicals in our body. Thanks to this, it increases our immunity. The minerals contain potassium, phosphorus, calcium, zinc, iron, copper and manganese. Thanks to all these minerals, chia is a great addition to our diet, which will affect calcium supplementation in the bones, improve our sleep quality, concentration and positively affect the work of our muscles.

CURIOSITIES
Chia in Nahuatl means "oily".
In 100 grams, it contains more calcium (as much as 631mg) than milk and more omega-3 than Atlantic salmon. In addition, they are an ideal alternative for vegetarians and vegans to supplement protein in the diet.
Preparation of pudding: add about 8 tablespoons of water for one tablespoon of chia. For the first 30 minutes, mix the seeds with water (or other liquid) several times, because they will fall apart. Then leave them for a minimum of an hour, after which the seeds will evenly spread out in the liquid and create a characteristic pudding for them.
