Customer Reviews of Greens Plus - Omega 3 Chia, 1 lb seeds
Customer Review: Chia = World's #1 Superfood
Summary: 5 Stars
Nutritional benefits of Chia seeds are UNBELIEVABLE. Here are a few to start:
*According to studies, Chia possesses the highest percentage of the polyunsaturated fatty acids(linolenic and linoleic) of all crops. Chia seeds contain 60% omega 3 fatty acids.
*The protein content of Chia is higher that other nutritional grains. Unlike other grains, it is a complete protein, meaning that it has the appropriate balance of all essential amino acids. About 19 to 23% of chia seeds weight is protein.
*Chia seeds are high in fiber, a 15 gm serving of chia seeds will provide 4 to 5 gm of fiber. Our body requires at least 35 gm of fiber a day to stay healthy.
*Chia seeds contain boron which is essential for bone health.
*Chia seeds are rich in calcium, about 2 oz of chia seeds contains 600 mg of Calcium, as compared to 120 mg for a cup of milk.
*Chia seeds have 2 times more potassium than banana.
*Chia seeds have 3 times more antioxidants than blueberries
Regardless of the astonishing nutritional values of Chia, it also tastes very good. My girlfriend and I make a big pot of "steel cut" oatmeal at night (the quick way is throw a cup of oats in 4 cups of boiling water and just let it sit overnight), put in a good helping of chia seeds, and the next morning you have a wonderful breakfast that could last all week depending on how many people are eating it. Feel free to add a little cinnamon, peanut butter, fruit, or your own oatmeal favorite additions.
There are many other recipes for eating Chia, but oatmeal is my personal favorite. I started eating Chia last year after reading the NY Times Bestseller 'Born to Run' about how a tribe of Mexicans that eat Chia will drink beer, smoke tobacco, and then run up to 500 miles in a footrace. One of the primary contributors to their physical ability is that their diet is full of the nutrient-rich Chia seeds. I started out paying an arm-and-a-leg at Whole Foods for Chia seeds, but have since started buying them on Amazon for a fraction of the price.
Buy some Chia seeds and make a delicious bowl of oatmeal for one of the healthiest breakfasts possible.
Description of Greens Plus - Omega 3 Chia, 1 lb seeds
Omega3 Chia? Chia (pronounced chee?ah), is the richest and only unprocessed, whole food source of pure Omega3. A member of the min family, Chia is native to Central America and has been used traditionally for over 3000 years. Ancients Aztec warriors prized Chia s an endurance promoting Superfood, eating it in bread just before battle and drinking it in water before funning long distances. Due to it?s high fiber content, Chia seed absorbs up to ten times its weight in water, making it an excellent source of hydration. Omega3 Chia?s soluble fiber forms a gel that slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, binds it to toxins in the digestive system, and helps eliminate waste. Omega3 Chia is especially rich in essential fatty acids. One 15g serving provides more than 3g of Omega3 (as alpha linoleic acid) and 1g of Omega6 (linoleic acid) in a perfectly balanced 3:1 ratio, making it the richest, unprocessed and fully-difestible whole food source of Omega3. Ingredients and Nutritional Information Ingredients: 100% Chia seed (Salvia hispanica L.) Directions: Simply mix one scoop (15g) of Omega3 Chia seed with 8 oz. of lemonade, thin juice, or your favorite beverage. In a Greens Plus shaker cup or resalable bottle, shake periodically for a few minutes until the Chia seed becomes evenly suspended, then sip for a refreshing performance-enhancing energy drink. The unique texture of mixed Chia seed is a feature of it's high fiber content and water binding capacity. For maximum benefit, drink at least 64 oz. of pure water every day. Omega3Herbal Supplements
